Former President Donald Trump sounded off on his hush money trial Wednesday, calling it a "witch hunt" after jurors wrapped up deliberating for the day.

"No one knows what the crime is," the former president said outside the courthouse. "This is a disgrace."

Trump pumped his fist as he left the courtroom while attorneys from both sides worked on preparing the portions of the transcript requested by jurors.

The former president did not speak to reporters as he wen back to his waiting area across the hall.

Jurors were sent home for the day at around 4:05 p.m. following a little over four-and-a-half hours of deliberations.

The court needs to identify the sections of transcript that panelists want read back to them.

The jury also requested to receive their instructions from Judge Merchan again -- and that will happen when deliberations resume at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

Tensions are starting to run high outside Manhattan Supreme Court as Trump supporters and critics are confronting each other, some even physically.

The clashes broke out when Biden supporters came over to the pro-Trump side of the park across the street from the courthouse.

Cops broke them up quickly before they escalated.

The jury has sent another note — this time asking for the judge's instructions again

A second note was received by Justice Merchan at 3:51 p.m.

"We did just receive another note," the judge said.

The note reads: "We the jury request to rehear the judge's instructions."

The judge brought the jury back in and notified the jury that a read back of their requested testimony will take about a half-hour.

The first of jurors' requests during deliberations was for a read-back of ex National Enquirer publisher David Pecker's testimony about a phone call in which he says Trump asked for his advice about whether they should pay Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal to buy her silence about her alleged affair with him.

Pecker recalled how Trump personally called him — instead of having his fixer Michael Cohen handle it — and the publisher offered to buy McDougal’s story, which Trump feared would eventually get out.

"I believe it would have been very embarrassing to himself and also to his campaign," Pecker testified that he told Trump on the call.

Trump feared at the time that even if they did pay McDougal off, the story might come out anyway, Pecker told jurors.

“[Trump] said, ‘I don’t buy any stories. Any time you do anything like this, it always gets out,'” Pecker testified.

But the trio ultimately cooked up the plan to pay McDougal $150,000 to keep the story from ever seeing the light of day, he added later in his testimony.

Jurors at 2:56 p.m. made requests to revisit testimony about:

• National Enquirer publisher David Pecker’s testimony regarding a phone conversation with Donald Trump while Pecker was meeting with an investor in New Jersey
• Pecker's testimony about the decision not to finalize and fund the assignment of Karen McDougal's "life rights"
• Pecker's testimony regarding a key 2015 Trump Tower meeting when he allegedly hatched a "conspiracy" with Trump and Michael Cohen to help Trump get elected
• Cohen's testimony regarding the same Trump Tower meeting

Justice Juan Merchan says he received a note marked as "Court Exhibit No. 4" at 2:56 p.m. Wednesday, with four requests by the jury.

"We received a note," the judge said.

Ayton Eller, an accountant from Brooklyn, took the day off to wait for a verdict outside the courthouse. He's decked out in a "Trump 2024" cowboy hat, waving Jewish flags and holding a sign saying "Jews for Trump."

"It’s predetermined, you know," he said about the forthcoming verdict. "They are gonna say guilty."

Donald Trump, his lawyers and prosecutors have been called back into the courtroom for an update.

Donald Trump's hush money trial jury has been deliberating for three hours so far.

The panel, comprised of 12 New Yorkers, continued deliberations during their lunch break.

All 12 jurors will continue to work until 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
