I don't know how serious this is but it is factual.

The judge presiding over the New York criminal case in which former US President Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony charges has notified defense lawyers and prosecutors of a social media post indicating possible jury misconduct, raising questions over whether the verdict could be nullified.
Judge Juan Merchan sent a letter to attorneys in the case on Friday, flagging a comment that was apparently posted on the New York State Unified Court System’s Facebook page on May 29, the day before Trump’s guilty verdict was announced. The author, identified as Michael Anderson, said, “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!”

Further investigation necessary.
A simple 'We have looked into the issue and can confirm that the person who made the post does not have a cousin on, or any family relationship with, anybody on the jury or alternate jurors.'
Until then it's all good banter material.
