Per Maggie Haberman:
Some of Trump's team, since the start of the trial, have been noticeably confident of a #HungJury. #Blanche, Trump's lead lawyer, shared his thoughts about the idea w/a NY Magazine reporter who wrote a cover story about him as the trial kicked off.
The prediction that the trial will end w/that outcome has been striking, particularly since hung juries, in which jurors cannot agree on a defendant's guilt or innocence, are relatively unusual.
