The prosecution in former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial — at the hands of Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — is attempting to “stack the deck” against Trump in the jury selection, “trying to find out if you have ever been involved in supporting President Trump at all over the years” but failing to ask the same questions about supporting President Joe Biden, Trump lawyer Jesse Binnall said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily.
Binnall, a Trump lawyer involved in the former president’s civil case and January 6 case, discussed the current criminal trial, as Bragg has charged Trump with 34 felonies, accusing him of falsifying business records.
Jury selection is different in every jurisdiction and in every case, Binnall said, explaining that in this case, they are “basing much of jury selection on these questionnaires that they’ve sent,” which “are very much in favor of the prosecution.”
“So for instance, these questionnaires ask a whole bunch of questions that are meant to weed out Trump supporters, but apparently they don’t have many questions that actually focus on who might be biased against President Trump,” he explained.
He provided examples, noting that the questionnaire asked if the respondents have ever attended a Trump rally or volunteered for Trump’s campaign. It does not end there, either.
