I believe you are referring to the NewsMax representation of the Sun article.
The Sun article indicates no such thing.
While Matz correctly noted to the lawyers that HRC is not being called (I disagree with his characterization that she's not involved), the jury questionaire is replete with questions on jurors' opinions of her and her spouse.
In addition, the judge declined removing jurors who answered negatively toward about the Clintons.
Furthermore he ruled that the convictions of Tonken and Paul are irrelevent, though the Sun article indicates the prosecution's strategy includes bringing Paul's history forward in order to lay a foundation for Rosen's actions.
Here is the Sun article:
During yesterday's hearing, Judge Matz was unsparing toward Paul, who was extradited from Brazil to face the stock charge. "He's a con artist. The fact that he is, is already established," the judge said. Judge Matz also called Paul "a thoroughly discredited, corrupt individual."
