Attorney's warning for Trump ahead of hush money trial conclusion

Anti-Trump attorney George Conway says that it's unlikely that the 12 jurors in Donald Trump's hush money trial will vote to acquit him.
The case, one of four criminal cases facing Trump, centers around the claim he tried to hide a $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
The seven men and five women on the jury include a corporate lawyer, an investment banker, a software engineer and a teacher.
Conway, who is now going through a divorce to Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, appeared to discuss the jury in the case, which is heading toward a conclusion this week, where he says its unlikely Trump will be unanimously acquitted.
'The defense has its work cut out for it. But all the defense has to do is convince one juror to hang the group. I don't think they can get an acquittal. I don't think they're going to get 12 votes unanimously to acquit him,' he said.

He told Katie Phang of MSNBC that the defense's best hope is that there's someone who refuses to convict him.
Conway believes that's unlikely because of former President Trump's signature on the various checks as well as attempts to conceal evidence.
'I'm not sure how a good outcome, other than a luck of the draw mistrial on a hung jury - 11 to 1, or 10 to 2 - I don't see a good outcome for Donald Trump from this.'
Conway tried to explain what he thought the jury would have seen during the course of the blockbuster trial.
'All of the testimony that we've heard just has Trump neck-deep in all of this,' Conway said.
'And it's going to be hard for the jury not to conclude that he didn't cause all of this. And it's going to be hard for the jury not to conclude that the purpose of it was to aid the election campaign, in which case, it was a campaign finance violation.'
The case has been branded a political witch hunt by the former president, designed to keep him off the campaign trail.
It is also the only one likely to have come to trial by the time of November's general election.

Judge Merchan, who has repeatedly clashed with Trump's defense team and issued a series of gagging orders on the former president, will deliver his instructions to the jury after both sides have concluded their summing up.
Habba said the instructions serve as the 'road map' for the jury and are the most critical part of the trial.
'Judge Merchan is severely conflicted,' she claimed.
'At this point I have zero confidence that this person, who shouldn't be sitting on the bench right now, will give jury instructions in an appropriate manner without any persuasion towards the prosecution.
'The last resort for this prosecution is this judge.'
The former president was given a rousing reception when he became the first Republican presidential candidate in 40 years to hold a rally in the Bronx on Thursday.
And the Sunday Morning Futures host told his guest he was more optimistic than her about the jury.
'I want to tell you what, there's a silver lining in this, Alina,' Duffy said.

'I don't want a juror on Thursday or Friday going into Memorial Day weekend to go, you know what? I got a party going on. I want to end this case early.
'I think it could bode well for President Trump, for those people on the jury who understand the law and the facts to fight for him and fight for justice.'
Alina Habba, who represented Trump in his civil fraud case, slammed judge Juan Merchan for not sequestering the jurors in a hotel for what could be the final weekend of the six-week trial.
'For them to be able to be out and about on a holiday weekend with friends and families who have opinions, who are watching the news, TV's on the background at the pool party, I have serious concerns,' she told Sean Duffy on Fox News.
'If they're left-winging and they're watching MSDNC, as my client calls it, or CNN, they're not going to get fair news.
'I have worries about them going back to whatever friends might have, Trump derangement syndrome, forgetting all sense of reality and coming back and sitting in that box and saying, you know what, I've got to do, you know, take one for the DNC.
'I want law to fact, because if we can get that, we will win. We will not just get a hung jury. We will get an acquittal.'
The twelve jurors were sworn in on April 22 after three days of wrangling between prosecution and defense lawyers.
