Election Interference Trial Goes to Jury

The jury in former President Donald Trump’s business records trial was dismissed for the day on Wednesday after deliberating for hours and requesting to be given testimony from David Pecker — the former publisher of the National Enquirer — and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.

Before being dismissed, the jury signaled that it had a note for Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing Trump’s business records trial. Trump is currently facing 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree regarding payments made to adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. He has pleaded not guilty.
