    This trial will have no jurors. It’s just the lawyers, the Trumps, a few related parties, and the judge.

    Edit: I tried to find a source, but I’m on mobile, however I read it in one of the previous articles discussing this.

      That doesn’t change the nature of the Fifth Amendment in relation to a civil case. When it is a bench trial, the judge is the juror.

        oh, I know. however, the judge is far less likely to be swayed by the Trump’s “Trumpiness” than even your average New York juror given their previous rulings in the case and their complete lack of patience with their lawyers’ arguments thus far.
