‘I don’t see a good outcome for Trump:’ Attorney’s ominous warning for former president ahead of hush money trial’s conclusion this week

Anti-Trump lawyer George Conway says it is unlikely that the 12 jurors in Donald Trump’s hush money trial will vote to acquit him.

The case, one of four criminal cases facing Trump, centers on the allegation that he tried to conceal a $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

The seven men and five women on the jury include a corporate lawyer, an investment banker, a software engineer and a teacher.

Conway, who is now divorcing Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, appeared to discuss the jury in the case, which is moving toward a conclusion this week, saying Trump is unlikely to be unanimously acquitted.

‘The defense has work to do. But all the defense has to do is convince one juror to hang the group. I don’t think they can get an acquittal. “I don’t think they will get 12 unanimous votes to acquit him,” he said.

He told MSNBC’s Katie Phang that the defense’s best hope is to find someone who refuses to convict him.

Conway believes this is unlikely due to former President Trump’s signature on the various checks and efforts to conceal evidence.

“I’m not sure how a good outcome, short of luck in the draw of a hung jury – 11 to 1, or 10 to 2 – I don’t see a good outcome for Donald Trump coming out of this.”

Conway tried to explain what he thought the jury would have seen during the successful trial.

“All the testimony we’ve heard has implicated Trump deeply in this,” Conway said.

“And it will be hard for the jury not to conclude that he didn’t cause any of this.” And it will be difficult for the jury not to conclude that its purpose was to aid the election campaign, in which case it was a campaign finance violation.”

The case has been labeled by the former president as a political witch hunt intended to keep him off the campaign trail.

It is also the only one likely to go to trial before the general election in November.

Judge Merchan, who has repeatedly clashed with Trump’s defense team and issued a series of gagging orders against the former president, will deliver his instructions to the jury after both sides complete their summaries.

Habba said the instructions serve as the “road map” for the jury and are the most crucial part of the process.

“Judge Merchan is deeply conflicted,” she claimed.

“At this point, I have no confidence whatsoever that this person, who should not be on the bench right now, will appropriately provide jury instructions without any persuasion to the prosecutor.

“The last resort for this prosecution is this judge.”

The former president received an enthusiastic reception Thursday when he became the first Republican presidential candidate in four decades to hold a rally in the Bronx.

And the Sunday Morning Futures host told his guest he was more optimistic than she was about the jury.

“I want to tell you something: There’s a silver lining in this, Alina,” Duffy said.

“I don’t want a juror going into Memorial Day weekend on Thursday or Friday, you know what? There’s a party going on. I want to end this matter early.

“I think it could do a lot of good for President Trump, for the people on the jury who understand the law and the facts, to fight for him and for justice.”

Alina Habba, who represented Trump in his civil fraud case, blasted Judge Juan Merchan for not sequestering jurors in a hotel for what could be the final weekend of the six-week trial.

“For them to be able to go out on a holiday weekend with friends and family who have an opinion, who are watching the news, TVs in the background at the pool party, that really worries me,” she told Sean Duffy on Fox. News.

‘If they are left-wing and watch MSDNC, as my client calls it, or CNN, they are not getting fair news.

“I worry that they’re going to go back to whatever friends may have, the Trump disorder syndrome, forgetting any sense of reality and coming back and sitting in that box and saying, you know what, I gotta do, you know, take one for the DNC.

“I want the law to become true, because if we do that, we will win. We’re not just going to get a hung jury. We will be acquitted.’

The 12 jurors were sworn in on April 22 after three days of wrangling between prosecutors and defense attorneys.
