Donald Trump was summoned by the court, and he responded.

On Monday, Republican presidential front-runner, Mr. Trump, reported for jury duty at the State Supreme Court in lower Manhattan. The Monday morning summons followed a weekend at the Iowa State Fair where he hosted helicopter rides.

Reportedly happy to take a break from the campaign trail, he showed up to his serve his civic duty on time in a limousine met by reporters and cameramen. Before entering court, the kindly signed a few autographs and shook hands with many onlookers, according to USA Today.

“It’s my duty, and I’m happy to do it,” he said of his service before entering the courthouse. “I’m ready. We’ll see what happens.”

But after his time in the court on Monday, he was released in the afternoon after not being selected for a trial.

This was not the first time the Trump was summoned for jury duty in recent years, but it was the first time he showed up. He recently was fined $250 for not showing up for past summonses, but the fee was waived. His personal counsel, Michael Cohen, said that Mr. Trump did not fail to appear on purpose, but the summonses for court were sent to an address he owned, but did not reside at, so never received them.

“Mr. Trump’s failure to appear for previous jury requests was the result of the unified court system’s error in the mailing address, and not Mr. Trump’s refusal to uphold his civic duty,” Cohen said. “It is impossible to know if you are being asked to serve when the jury selection documents are sent to someone else’s home.”

There were hundreds of other people scheduled along with Mr. Trump for jury duty on Friday, where the jury assembly supervisor, Irene Laracuenta, assured everybody that no one would be receiving special treatment. The jury duty rule there is one day, or one trial if selected.

A fellow jury duty participant that day, David Hamburger, 22, said:

“He (Trump) seemed in deep thought about his campaign, He’s a nice guy, a funny guy. He seemed pretty bored like the rest of us.”
