Those calls came after numerous media outlets reported potentially identifying biographical information about the woman, including her job and the neighborhood she called home. Fox News Jesse Watters highlighted the juror’s details while reading through public pool notes about the selected members. “This nurse scares me if I’m Trump,” Watters said.

    It doesn’t sound like it was released.

    It seems like stuff from jury selection questions that some court audience members noted. The court already blocked recording.

    They remove the audience, but that’s a double-edged sword since no public transparency even for reporters would fuel all of the conspiracy crap and there would be no information available to debunk. This is Trumps wet dream. Being able to spout pure fantasy with nobody to rebut.

    Best solution would be for the judge to clamp down to say that he will charge anyone who leaks any jury info with contempt.

      The judge may have been anticipating this media circus. Now there’s a clear reason to remove the audience, so it’s safer.

      Trump was going to spout lies and nonsense no matter what, and the people who believe him now will believe him no matter what. My money says the judge just wanted an excuse–and we’ll see a complete lockdown with no audience from now on.
