Earlier in the day, Trump quoted an appearance by Judge Andrew Napolitano on Fox & Friends citing Stone’s defense team’s request for a retrial, following the revelations about the lead juror Tomeka Hart.

“Judge Jackson now has a request for a new trial based on the unambiguous & self outed bias of the foreperson of the jury, whose also a lawyer, by the way. ‘Madam foreperson, your a lawyer, you have a duty, an affirmative obligation, to reveal to us when we selected you the.....

.....existence of these tweets in which you were so harshly negative about the President & the people who support him. Don’t you think we wanted to know that before we put you on this jury.’ Pretty obvious he should (get a new trial). I think almost any judge in the Country.....

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said later in the day on Fox News that Trump’s tweets show he’s “frustrated.”
