As the jury began deliberations, former President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on the trial process and Judge Juan Merchan, whom he deemed “conflicted.” Trump, facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, vehemently denied any wrongdoing and labeled the charges as rigged. Amidst reporters, Trump asserted, “Mother Teresa could not beat these charges,” before exiting the courtroom, leaving the lawyers awaiting the jury’s decision.
Despite the gravity of the charges, Trump maintained his stance of innocence, decrying what he perceived as a flawed judicial system. Judge Merchan, under intense scrutiny, ordered Trump to remain at the courthouse throughout the deliberations, intensifying the tension surrounding the high-profile trial.
