The comment, published at the same time as the verdict was announced, expressed gratitude to those involved in the case for their efforts.

Although the UCS notice was published a day before the verdict was handed down, the timing of the publication of “Michael Anderson” in relation to the verdict remains unspecified in Merchan's order. It was only mentioned that the post was labeled as “one week old”.
The authenticity of the family connection between “Michael Anderson” and the juror mentioned in the post has not been confirmed. However, if the publication does indeed indicate prior knowledge of the jury's decision, it could serve as a major sticking point as Trump's legal team challenges the verdict on appeal.
