After the verdict, Judge Lewis Kaplan told jurors in the E. Jean Carroll civil lawsuit against Donald Trump. “My advice to you is that you never disclose that you were on this jury, and I won’t say anything more about it,” Kaplan said after the verdict was read. “And I won’t say anything more about it.”
The Judge seems to think the former president is Al Capone.
“The last time I was in a courtroom where a judge said that to a jury, the former boss of the Genovese family had been convicted… It’s remarkable that same admonition was said with respect to somebody who was president.” @AWeissmann_ on Judge Kaplan’s warning to jurors pic.twitter.com/A3dRgP5UOx

Kaplan took an aggressive tone with Donald Trump’s lead attorney, Alina Habba. At one point, Habba wanted to show the jury some tweets so she could present them from her perspective. Kaplan wouldn’t allow it and threatened to throw her in the clink.
He also wouldn’t allow Donald Trump to present evidence, and make a closing statement. Kaplan demanded that Habba give him the questions she planned to ask Trump. He also demanded the answers, and then edited them.
The mainstream media portrays Habba as resistant to rules.
