The federal judge in the Paul Manafort trial has revealed that he has received death threats, while also refusing the mainstream media’s request to release juror names and addresses.

According to The Daily Wire:

The judge presiding over former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s trial revealed on Friday that he has been receiving threats over the case and is now receiving protection from U.S. Marshals.

The revelation came after U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III denied a request from CNN and other left-of-center media outlets which sought to obtain the names and addresses of the 12 jurors in the trial, the Washington Examiner reported.

“I don’t feel right if I release their names,” Ellis said, according to Fox News’ Jake Gibson. “I think there would be a substantial amount of people afraid… to do so would create a risk of harm to them.”

Fox News noted that the other news organizations that tried to obtain the information include The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Associated Press, NBC, Politico, and BuzzFeed — all of which are widely viewed as left-leaning.

The jury continues to deliberate as the media works to expose them. Continue to check back with TTN for updates on the trial as they become available.
