how did trump react? >> the incident with the jury intimidation was when a juror was waubing out, trump made a remark that was audible to be heard in the overflow room and picked up on the microphones and the judge. the judge rolly went apoplectic. he was really making the case that he is not going to tolerate any juror intimitation in his courtroom. this has been a subject that has been an issue for all of trump's criminal cases for along time. trump likes to make comments about prospective witnesses and jurors. he has been going on about that on his social media account and that's partly why he will be before a contempt hearing on tuesday to answer for his social media post attacking people like michael cohen and leaking and posting articles from the new york post attacking other trial witnesses. this is going to be aneshue and it will be an issue throughout the trial. if trump can stay seated, if he can stay a proper defendant and adhere by the rules, otherwise he will find himself in a great deal of t
