In a December 3 letter, Trump's lawyers alleged that the jury was neither fair nor impartial, citing 'extensive and pervasive misconduct' that violated Trump's rights.
Prosecutors countered the claims of juror misconduct, labeling them 'unsworn, unsupported, hearsay,' and asserted that they do not warrant serious consideration.
Judge Juan Merchan indicated he would only address the misconduct claims if they were submitted formally as a motion, maintaining a structured legal process.
The defense has requested the redacted version of their misconduct letter be made public, a move opposed by the Manhattan prosecutors, highlighting a contentious legal battle.
