The jurors who will decide Donald Trump’s fate in his criminal hush-money case were dismissed for the day on Wednesday just after 4 p.m. New York time, following nearly five hours of weighing the 34 felony counts of falsifying business records that the former president faces.
The jury’s first-day deliberations were punctuated by the delivery of two notes to Judge Juan Merchan, asking him to allow the panel to hear some of the seven-week trial’s testimony again, as well as repeat his instructions to them.
The first note was delivered to Merchan just before 3 p.m. With a slight smirk on his face, the judge read aloud its four requests, three of which concerned testimony given by tabloid publisher David Pecker.
