Obama Reports for Jury Duty Today


Former President Barack Obama reports for jury duty today. Sources at the Daley Center told the Chicago Sun-Times that Secret Service agents scouted the downtown courthouse on Tuesday to prepare for POTUS44’s anticipated arrival after 8A today. Anyone working at the Daley Center -- or who happened to be called for jury duty on the same day as Obama -- can expect heightened security measures, sources said. Chief Judge Timothy Evans confirmed last month that Obama had been called to serve, but Evans didn’t reveal when or where the former president would be called. It’s not the first time a jury summons has been sent to Obama’s Kenwood home, though it will be the first time he can pocket the $17.20 paycheck that Cook County jurors receive for each day of service. Winning! Ball ‘til you fall, POTUS. More here.
