Trump's lawyers allege there was juror "misconduct" at his NY hush-money trial. One day after Donald Trump lost his 11th-hour bid to void his hush-money conviction, a juror "misconduct" battle is brewing, according to a newly-public series of court filings in the case. Prosecutors responded to the misconduct allegations on December 9, arguing that the claim "consists entirely of unsworn allegations," and is based on "hearsay and conjecture." AdvertisementMerchan, like prosecutors, noted that the defense misconduct claim "consists entirely of unsworn allegations." "Allegations of juror misconduct should be thoroughly investigated," he wrote, adding, "However, this court is prohibited from deciding such claims on the basis of mere hearsay and conjecture."
