Makes a public statement today about his feelings concerning the Manafort trial. Completely inappropriate. This jury is not sequestered so when they get their next break or go home for the night his comments can be heard by them.

Legal definition jury tampering
Jury tampering is the crime of attempting to influence a jury through other means than the evidence presented in court, such as conversations about the case outside the court, offering bribes, making threats or asking acquaintances to interfere with a juror.

This seems like a stretch. But you didn't post any context, so good job on that I guess.

It's going to be hard to prove corrupt intent on Trump's part here.

There are plenty of crimes Trump is guilty of that he's committed out in the open, mostly pertaining to obstruction of justice but this is a stretch.
