It wasn’t denied, his attorney’s never requested one in the first place. It is unlikely it would have been granted even if they had due to the aforementioned reasons. However, that has not stopped Trump from saying he was “denied” a jury trial which is just patently false.

Yes, I know he failed to request one, I broke the story here on Lemmy over two weeks ago

I meant that it never occurred to me that if they had requested one properly, that he might be denied and have to have a bench trial anyway.
I see, my bad. Was just confused by the verbiage.
No worries, I probably could have phrased it better.
