Former President Trump said his defense team has already "won the case by any standard" in the NY v. Trump trial as he called on presiding Judge Juan Merchan to dismiss this case.

And I think that Juan Merchan would do himself and the state and the city, a great service by doing what everybody knows should be done," Trump said Tuesday morning outside the Manhattan courtroom.

Judge Juan Merchan dismissed the jury until after Memorial Day.
