Trump lawyers allege 'grave juror misconduct' in their latest attack on hush money conviction
Lawyers for President-elect Donald Trump say they've received evidence of "grave juror misconduct" in the New York criminal case that resulted in his being convicted on 34 felony counts.
Lawyers for President-elect Donald Trump say they've received evidence of "grave juror misconduct" in the New York criminal case that resulted in his being convicted on 34 felony counts.
"The extensive and pervasive misconduct at issue violated President Trump's rights under the federal Constitution and New York law," Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove wrote in a Dec. 3 letter that was unsealed Tuesday.
Trump's attorneys told NBC News they wrote the letter after a juror in the case reached out to them. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Details of the alleged misconduct were unclear. The letter is heavily redacted.
In a reply letter also unsealed Tuesday, the DA’s office called the misconduct allegations "vague" and said the person who shared the claim had told Trump's team its summary of the allegations “contains inaccuracies."
