Following weeks of testimony, the trial of former President Donald Trump has now been handed over to the jury, with the final outcome remaining uncertain.
Despite the absence of cameras in the courtroom, media outlets have been relying on individuals attending the trial, some of whom are not present every day, to provide updates on whether Trump or the prosecution is gaining an advantage. While most hosts and pundits on channels like CNN and MSNBC have argued that the law and evidence point towards a guilty verdict, those on conservative outlets have taken a different stance, contending that the law and facts suggest a potential hung jury or even an acquittal, despite the predominantly anti-Trump sentiment among Manhattan voters.
