The judge in former U.S. President Donald Trump’s upcoming trial over his handling of classified documents made two key errors in a June trial, one of which violated a fundamental constitutional right of the defendant and could have invalidated the proceedings, according to legal experts and a court transcript.

    Does this mean that every person that’s ever opposed Trump or found unfavorably against him is going to have everything in their career examined through the lens of Donald Trump being persecuted by them?

    It’s not good What this judge did to deny someone their public trial and failing to swear in the jury is just stupid. I don’t see how it relates to Trump or even indirectly is affected by him.

      It’s an example of her incompetence and lack of understanding of basic tenets of a jury trial in the lead up to a highly visible and important case in which Trump is the defendant.
