Witness says Russia probe's grand jury looks like ‘a Black Lives Matter rally'

Updated

A witness who reportedly testified before Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s federal grand jury claimed in an interview with Page Six that the jurors looked like they came from a "Black Lives Matter rally."

"The grand jury room looks like a Bernie Sanders rally," the witness told the outlet. "Maybe they found these jurors in central casting, or at a Black Lives Matter rally in Berkeley [Calif.]"

The witness further contended that of the 20 jurors in the room, 11 of them were African-Americans and claimed two of them were wearing "peace T-shirts." According to Page Six, Mueller was not present.

Although the outlet did not name the witness or reveal the individual's political leaning, the witness appeared to be sympathetic towards the president, adding that the "room isn’t a room where POTUS gets a fair shake.”

Mueller's team first announced charges against three advisers to President Trump’s campaign in October: Paul Manafort, Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos.

The grand jury is reportedly expecting to bring more charges against Manafort in relation to work on behalf of the Ukrainian government prior to Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
