Clay Travis instructs his audience to “do everything you can” to get on Trump hush money trial jury and “refuse to convict. I want jury nullification.”
While streaming on Fox Nation, Travis elaborated: “The only way to fight back against lawfare is by refusing to comply with it. And so if you can vote not guilty, if you can get on this jury, you could become a hero. I really mean that.”

CLAY TRAVIS (CO-HOST): To the extent that we have anybody— I believe there's a jury pool of 500 people that have been initially called. I've said this on the show before but I want to reiterate it now: We have a large listenership in the New York City area. WOR, we love you guys. If you are fortunate enough to be in this jury pool, I want you — and you listen to this show — I want you to go and do everything you can to get on this jury. Usually, people, Buck, try to avoid jury duty, like, with every fiber of their being. Right? Oh, I've got a conflict. Oh, I've got — generally, getting out of jury duty is almost an art form. I want a Trump-voting patriot to get on this jury, recognize this for what it is, a sham political prosecution targeted against Donald Trump because he is running for president, and I want you to refuse to convict. I want jury nullification. If I were in New York City and I were on this jury group, I would do everything that I could to get seated on this jury, and I would refuse to convict. Only takes one person. We're not going to get an acquittal. There's not — there's too many anti-Trump people.
BUCK SEXTON (CO-HOST): Yeah. Of course.
TRAVIS: There's no way you're going to get 12 jurors to recognize this for what it is, a political sham. Alvin Bragg is lowering every felony to a misdemeanor. Here, he's trying to elevate a misdemeanor to a felony based on what I think is illegitimate use of the law. The only way to fight back against lawfare is by refusing to comply with it. And so if you can vote not guilty, if you can get on this jury, you could become a hero. I really mean that.
SEXTON: The numbers are very slim. There are 8.5 million people in New York City so, unfortunately, I don't think we're able to necessarily turn this wheel ourselves. But it would be great if it happens.
