He acknowledged all the reporters who have shown upearly and stay until the end. Then he said: "I'm not much
for the press. I don't speak to them. But I believe the public
should have access to this information."

He then said reporters work hard but don't always report
accurately, though he clarified his statement right after. It wasn't
meant to be disparaging as much as a point about how he values
accuracy - for himself in this case - and for reporters.

And that Trump is jury-tampering. He cant be happy. Maybe showing some support for free press and signaling to public this is an important case.

to influence the jury ? I'm guessing no.
