Jury selection for the New York criminal trial against Donald Trump is well underway — seven jurors have been picked so far! And opening arguments could begin as early as next week! But despite Judge Merchan’s brisk pace, there’s still a lot that can derail the proceedings.
Like, for example, allegations of jury tampering.
Clay Travis, the Vanderbilt Law grad turned political commentator, had some… interesting advice for New Yorkers tagged with jury duty this week.
That’s… not particularly wise advice for potential jurors. And folks came out of the woodwork making sure Travis knew that. And also accusing Travis of a crime.
Travis responded to the allegation, though with more attitude than substance.
Let’s hope the actual jury listens to the evidence presented and not Clay Travis.
