AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
While mainstream media sought to disparage former President Donald Trump's legal team for not opting for a jury trial, Trump said not being given the option was "railroading" and another way "they've weaponized justice in our country."
"This witch-hunt that's going on, using statute 63(12) β which is a consumer-fraud statute, which may be unconstitutional β doesn't allow me a jury, doesn't allow me anything," Trump told reporters before entering the courtroom on Day 3 of New York Democrat Attorney General Letitia James' $250 million civil trial against him.
