We’re just two days into jury deliberations in Donald Trump’s hush-money trial, but America is already on edge—analyzing and guessing what could be going through the heads of the 12 jurors who will determine the ex-president’s fate.
With the jurors’ identities concealed, and their deliberations shrouded in secrecy until they reach a verdict, the rest of us are left to fill the information vacuum with speculation about what we do know: the jurors already have a few questions for Judge Juan Merchan.
The first came on Wednesday, when they asked Merchan if they could re-hear some of the seven-week trial’s witness testimony and if he could repeat a portion of his jury instructions to them. More questions arrived Thursday morning, with jurors asking for more of the same.
