Jake Tapper Cracks Up At Ex-Trump Lawyer’s Trump Jury Selection Anecdote
HuffPost
"I was floored," Bill Brennan told the CNN anchor.
Criminal defense attorney Bill Brennan’s story about jury selection in a previous trial of former President Donald Trump’s business had CNN’s Jake Tapper laughing on Monday.
During a discussion on how Trump’s legal team could get a fair jury for the presumptive GOP nominee’s hush money trial in largely Democratic New York, Brennan recalled the time a prospective juror declared her hatred for Trump at the Trump Organization’s 2022 criminal tax fraud trial in which Brennan represented Trump’s company.
“I’ve been picking juries for about 35 years” and the woman “in her mid-40s of Irish extraction” looked a good prospect for the jury, Brennan told Tapper.
“She spoke with a brogue, she worked in an Irish pub and in our questionnaire, questions 29 and 30 said, ’Do you have any strong feelings about the former president and if so, would they affect your ability to be fair?” he recalled.
The woman checked those answers.
