Trump's Hush Money Trial
Former President Donald Trump is facing a hush money trial where he inaccurately claimed that the jury does not need unanimity to convict him. The jury, however, must be unanimous on each of the 34 counts he faces. Trump also complained about not being able to use an 'advice of counsel' defense, which was rejected by the judge. The trial continues as the jury deliberates.
Key Points
- Jury must be unanimous on each count.
- Trump's 'advice of counsel' defense was not allowed by the judge.
Cons
- Misleading claims by Trump about the trial proceedings.
