Judge In Trump Case Goes On Rampage - Furious Rant In Court

Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and it's no secret

Judge Juan Marchand of the Alvin Bragg, Stormy Daniels, Donald Trump hush money case

Not a big fan of Donald Trump by most people's beliefs. Before we get started please make sure

you like, comment, share and subscribe. Those little things really help us out and they help

our channel continue to grow. Reports surfaced yesterday that during the jury selection phase

of the trial and by the way they selected seven jurors on the first day. That is insane to me. I

cannot believe that they selected seven jurors that quick. So quickly that the actual trial

portion of the trial may start on Monday. That's breakneck speed compared to what I was expecting

and anticipating from this. That being said a lot of people feel that Marchand is not

being exactly fair to Trump and Trump is among them. Yesterday Trump apparently made some kind

of motion or whatever towards one of the jurors or was mouthing something. They say, they claim

we have no video of this and Judge Marchand apparently went on a rampage telling Trump he

will not allow jurors to be intimidated. I want you to watch this report and let me know what you

think. As always please remember to like, comment, share and subscribe. I'm Carmine Sabia for

Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you. Take care everybody. All right Boris thanks so

much. It is day two of jury selection in the former President Trump's hush money trial. It's back

underway. Let's get out to CNN's Laura Coates because Laura I understand that the judge has

now told Trump's attorney he needs to talk to his client because something that President

the judge said was doing toward one of the potential jurors. Yes there are fireworks beginning to happen in this particular courtroom. Remember there is a

moment when you're able to ask questions of the different potential jurors even at this juncture

to decide whether they actually should be on your jury. What issue here is one juror's Facebook

postings and we're bringing Cara Scannell on this because Cara, the Facebook posting appeared to show

some celebration happening in the year 2020. The prosecution wants her this juror not to be

removed for cause. They say it's just a celebratory filming from a distance. The defense thinks so

that this is actually biased against Trump. What's happening? Right so they brought this

juror into the courtroom alone without the other jurors there so the judge could question her about

what was actually depicted on this video and the juror responded saying that it was a New York

moment that she caught on camera. The concern is what? That it's a video of a celebration around

an election or what? So Trump's lawyers, well the question is was this around election day or the

day that Biden was declared the winner in 2020 which remember was about a week later and so

the defense lawyers are saying this is clearly an anti-Trump event. She didn't say that she went to

an anti-Trump rally. The juror saying no this was a New York moment that she caught on camera

So the judge questioned her, the defense team saying they thought that she needed to go for

bias. The judge said the juror looked me in the eye and said that she could be impartial so we

refused to excuse her for cause. That still means Trump's lawyers could use one of their strikes if

they want to on her though they have not yet but that prompted this reaction in court from Trump

while as the juror was leaving he could be heard audibly saying something and gesturing in the

direction of the juror leaving the room. That prompted the judge to raise his voice. He is a

soft-spoken judge but firm. He raised his voice and said he said to Trump's lawyer I can hear your

client uttering and warning him that he cannot do that, cannot disrupt this proceeding and advising

him to talk to his client. And went on to suggest that he won't have his any jurors intimidated

It's a really important moment here. We're not talking about a collective number of jurors in

the room, Cara. We're talking about if there is additional questioning for a juror, they are to be

by themselves in that particular courtroom. So you've got secret service, the former president

of the United States, defense and prosecution, a judge and the lone juror being questioned and

you've got uttering or some sort of reprimand being done against Trump. That's a really

extraordinary moment. It tells you we're how many days now, a day and a half into jury selection

It seemed as though his patience for being able to be quiet in that courtroom is waning thin

I mean, I was now this is the third trial I've covered with Donald Trump as the defendant. The

other two were civil cases, different situations, different things at stake there. But you see

Trump really not being able to not react in the moment at times. In the E. Jean Carroll case when

she was testifying, he audibly reacted at first again outside the presence of the jury, prompted

a warning from that judge, you know, telling him that he cannot disrupt these proceedings

It was not he was warned, but Trump continued to do it again. You can clearly see that it is

hard for him not to want to react and respond when he's hearing certain things. And the judge

admonished Trump at this moment once the juror had left the room. But his whole the judge's

explanation for why he's handling it this way, bringing this juror in for questioning is because

he said at the outset he didn't want there to be any intimidation and not being intimidated from

speaking among your peers and other jurors. But now there's this new wrinkle of not wanting there

to be intimidation because of the defendant. And what's interesting here, Jessica, remember

is that we're talking about jurors, social media posts, Facebook posts at this point in time. Now

we in the media have no idea who is in that jury pool. There is anonymity to be preserved for a

very good reason. But the attorneys in this room, they're aware of who the individuals are. They're

able to then search through their social media postings and imagine what they are finding and

be a potential treasure trove of information. But at the end of the day, the judge wants to know not

just the existence of a post, but how it might demonstrate bias in a way that undermine the

opportunity for the defendant to have a fair trial. Again, they will have the final word in

strikes. We only get 10 total. So there's going to be a lot at stake here. All right. Certainly

that is the case. Laura Coates for us with Kara Skindel outside the courthouse. Thanks so much

And stay with us. We're going to stay on this breaking news, but take a quick break. We'll be right back
