Former state court judge Carol Lam said on Wednesday that she was surprised that Judge Juan Merchan noted particular evidence for the jurors to consider during jury instructions in former President Donald Trump’s New York trial.
Merchan pointed out bank documents related to Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen’s corporations and Cohen’s payment to porn star Stormy Daniels’ former lawyer Keith Davidson, as well as other records for the jury’s consideration on Wednesday, according to CNN. Lam on “José Díaz-Balart Reports” said this was a “surprise” to her as jury instructions typically do not contain “references to specific pieces of evidence.”
