Airport trial judge referred Nigel Farage comments to Attorney General

Judge Neil Flewitt referred comments made by Nigel Farage regarding an ongoing Manchester Airport assault trial to The Attorney General, stating the remarks were potentially a contempt of court.
On June 21, Farage, leader of The Reform, claimed 'two-tier justice' influenced the prosecution as the trial proceeded at Liverpool Crown Court.
Defense lawyer Imran Khan argued the comments occurred at a "critical time in the trial," noting Farage is "somebody who has a huge influence on British politics" with a following of 2.2 million.
Judge Flewitt declined to discharge the jury, stating he retained "confidence" in jurors to consider the case impartially; The Attorney General's Office confirmed law officers have not issued contempt proceedings.
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad will not face another trial after jurors failed to reach verdicts on some counts, with Amaaz awaiting sentencing on June 26.
