A witness who recently testified before Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s federal grand jury claimed in an interview with the New York Post’s Page Six this week that the jurors looked like they were all from “a Black Lives Matter rally.”

“The grand jury room looks like a Bernie Sanders rally. Maybe they found these jurors in central casting, or at a Black Lives Matter rally in Berkeley,” the witness told Post columnist Richard Johnson, who previously served as a Miss Universe pageant judge during Trump’s time at the helm. “…There was only one white male in the room, and he was a prosecutor.”


The witness claimed that, out of the 20 jurors on the panel, 11 were Black. Two, they said, were wearing “peace T-shirts.”

“That room isn’t a room where POTUS gets a fair shake,” they added, insinuating that more white jurors were needed in order for the process to be considered credible.
