Trump supporters conflict with British couple close to NYC hush cash trial

This is the moment a British woman and her partner scurried out of a New York City park after a group of Donald Trump supporters shouted to ‘get the f**k out’.

Video shows how police were forced to step in after protesters at a park near Trump’s hush money trial apparently clashed with the couple. 

Furious protesters, sporting Trump apparel and waving MAGA flags, yelled ‘f**k the Queen’ and ‘f**k the King’ as the couple tried to leave the park. One demonstrator, as she was held back by an officer, branded the woman a ‘f***ing c**t’ and told her to ‘burn in h**l you liberal f**k’.

While it is not clear what sparked the ugly confrontation, NYPD officers were seen trying to separate Trump’s supporters and the couple.

Despite the profanity-riddled tirade, the English woman appeared rather unphazed by the exchange, branding the supporters as ‘disgusting people’ and revealing she and her partner had come to the demonstration ‘purely for entertainment value’.

The chaotic scuffle comes as jurors in Trump’s trial have begun their second day of deliberations after failing to reach a quick verdict.

The British woman was seen smiling and almost chucking as the crowd surrounded her in the park, shouting profanities.

‘Disgusting aren’t they? What disgusting people,’ she said, sounding somewhat lightheartedly.

Her partner, seemingly less amused, was ushering her away from the group.

‘We were actually here purely for entertainment value,’ the woman told the media as they walked away from the rowdy demonstrators.

‘We’re from England,’ she added, as her partner said ‘we’ve got to keep going.’

The protesters continued to shout, telling the couple to ‘take your tea’ and ‘get the f**k out of my park’. 

One furious protester, who called the woman a ‘c**t’, appeared to walk after her, but was stopped by a police officer who blocked her with his arm and said: ‘She’s leaving, just stop.’

When the pair reached the park entrance the woman, speaking to the media, added that she and her partner ‘enjoy watching Trump on the TV’.

It is unclear if the couple were asked to vacate the park of left of their own volition.

DailyMail.com approached NYPD for more information but a spokesperson said there was no complaint report on file.

The protesters gathered in the park as jury deliberations in Trump’s criminal trial entered their second day on Thursday.

The panel deliberated for four-and-a-half hours on Tuesday and sent two notes to the judge before being sent home. 

They asked Judge Juan Merchan for four parts of testimony from Michael Cohen and former National Enquirer David Pecker to be read back. 

The former president is stuck inside the court waiting for the verdict.

Trump struck a pessimistic tone after leaving the courtroom following the reading of jury instructions Wednesday, saying ‘Mother Teresa could not beat these charges.’ 

When he returned to court Thursday, he called it a ‘sad day for America.’ 

At the heart of the charges are reimbursements paid to Cohen for a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels in exchange for not going public with her claim about a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump.

Prosecutors say the reimbursements were falsely logged as ‘legal expenses’ to hide the true nature of the transactions.

Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, charges which are punishable by up to four years in prison. He has denied all wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty.

To convict Trump, the jury would have to find unanimously that he created a fraudulent entry in his company’s records or caused someone else to do so and that he acted with the intent of committing or concealing another crime.

The crime prosecutors say Trump committed or hid is a violation of a New York election law making it illegal for two or more conspirators ‘to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means.’

While the jurors must unanimously agree that something unlawful was done to promote Trump’s election campaign, they don’t have to be unanimous on what that unlawful thing was.

The jurors – a diverse cross section of Manhattan residents and professional backgrounds – often appeared riveted by testimony in the trial, including from Cohen and Daniels. 

Many took notes and watched intently as witnesses answered questions from prosecutors and Trump’s lawyers.

Jurors started deliberating after a marathon day of closing arguments in which a prosecutor spoke for more than five hours, underscoring the burden the district attorney’s office faces in needing to establish Trump’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Trump team need not establish his innocence to avoid a conviction but must instead bank on at least one juror finding that prosecutors have not sufficiently proved their case.

In their first burst of communication with the court, jurors asked to rehear testimony from Cohen and former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker about an August 2015 meeting with Trump at Trump Tower, where the tabloid boss agreed to be the ‘eyes and ears’ of his fledgling presidential campaign.

Pecker testified that the plan included identifying potentially damaging stories about Trump so they could be squashed before being published. That, prosecutors say, was the beginning of the catch-and-kill scheme at the heart of the case.

Jurors also want to hear Pecker’s account of a phone call he said he received from Trump in which they discussed a rumor that another outlet had offered to buy former Playboy model Karen McDougal’s story that she had a yearlong affair with Trump in the mid-2000s. Trump has denied the affair.

Pecker testified that Trump told him, ‘Karen is a nice girl,’ and asked, ‘What do you think I should do?’ 

Pecker said he replied: ‘I think you should buy the story and take it off the market.’ He added that Trump told him that he doesn’t buy stories because they always get out and that Cohen would be in touch.

The publisher said he came away from the conversation thinking Trump was aware of the specifics of McDougal’s claims. Pecker said he believed the story was true and would have been embarrassing to Trump and his campaign if it were made public.

The National Enquirer’s parent company, American Media Inc., eventually paid McDougal $150,000 for the rights to her story in an agreement that also included writing and other opportunities with its fitness magazine and other publications.

The fourth item jurors requested is Pecker’s testimony about his decision in October 2016 to back out of an agreement to sell the rights to McDougal’s story to Trump through a company Cohen had established for the transaction, known as an ‘assignment of rights.’

‘I called Michael Cohen, and I said to him that the agreement, the assignment deal, is off. I am not going forward. It is a bad idea, and I want you to rip up the agreement,’ Pecker testified. ‘He was very, very, angry. Very upset. Screaming, basically, at me.’

Pecker testified that he reiterated to Cohen that he wasn’t going forward with the agreement.

He said that Cohen told him: ‘The boss is going to be very angry at you.’
