A jury of 12 has been selected for Trump’s hush-money trial, marking a significant step towards the first criminal trial of a former president. Two jurors were removed, highlighting the challenge of jury selection in this high-stakes case.
Juror identities will remain anonymous for security reasons. One juror was dismissed after expressing bias, and another was excused due to concerns about his criminal history.
Prosecutors accused Trump of violating a gag order multiple times, with a hearing scheduled for next week. Potential jurors criticized Trump’s politics, but insisted they could remain impartial during the trial.
Trump faces other trials related to his actions on January 6, attempts to subvert the 2020 election, and charges related to classified documents kept at Mar-a-Lago. Despite these legal challenges, Trump leads the Republican nomination race for 2024.
