A former Democratic congressional candidate revealed Wednesday that she was the foreperson on the jury that convicted Roger Stone.
Tomeka Hart said during the jury selection process that she did not “pay that close attention†to developments in the Russia investigation. She also said that Stone’s links to President Donald Trump would “absolutely not†affect her views at trial.
But Hart’s social media posts show that she was closely tuned in to the Russia probe and that she considered Trump and his supporters to be racist.
When Tomeka Hart was interviewed during the jury selection process as part of the Roger Stone trial, the former Democratic congressional candidate said she was generally aware of developments in the Russia investigation, but that she didn’t “pay that close attention†to the probe.
She also insisted that Stone’s affiliation with President Donald Trump would “absolutely not†color her views of the longtime Trump confidante, according to a copy of a court transcript obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
But Hart’s social media record, which emerged Wednesday after she came forward as the foreperson on Stone’s jury, paints a different picture.
Hart’s Twitter account shows that she tweeted frequently about developments in the special counsel’s investigation, typically stories that were negative for Trump. She was also intensely critical of Trump and his followers.
