A New York jury has been sent home after day one of deliberations in the Donald Trump hush money case. If Judge Juan Merchan chooses to take the former president's advice, however, they would be sent home for good.
In remarks to the media outside the Manhattan courtroom Wednesday, Trump said the judge overseeing the case would "save his reputation" by dismissing the charges, noting -- not erroneously -- that neither the prosecution nor judge seems to agree on what exactly "the crime is."
"The confusion is nobody knows what the crime is because there's no crime," Trump said, according to Fox News.
"Nobody knows what the crime is. The [district attorney] didn't name the crime of the moment," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said. "They don't know what the crime is. That's what the problem is. It's a disgrace. This thing ought to be ended immediately.
"The judge ought to end it and save his reputation."
