Moving onto the post about the jury and Jesse Watters, Judge Juan Merchan asked: “Your client manipulated what was said and put it in quotes, am I right?”
“I wouldn’t use the word manipulation your honor,” Donald Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche responded. “But the rest of the quote was not part of the quote.” Merchan said that Trump’s post on the jury was not a repost.
“This is something that was said on TV and your client had to type it out. He had to sit there, use quotation marks, the shift key and type every thing out and then add those additional words,” the judge said.
