12 jurors have been picked for Donald Trump’s hush-money trial

LA Times  

Former President Trump awaits the resumption of jury selection in his hush-money trial in Manhattan criminal court on Thursday. A jury of 12 people was seated Thursday in former President Trump’s hush-money trial in New York, and the court quickly turned to selecting alternate jurors. But on Thursday, Judge Juan Merchan revealed in court that one of the seven, a cancer nurse, had “conveyed that after sleeping on it overnight she had concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial in this case.” And though jurors’ names are being kept confidential, the woman told the judge and the lawyers that she had doubts after she said aspects of her identity had been made public. The IT professional was summoned to court to answer questions after prosecutors said they found an article about a person with the same name who had been arrested in the 1990s for tearing down political posters pertaining to the political right in suburban Westchester County, N.Y. A prosecutor also disclosed that a relative of the man may have been involved in a deferred prosecution agreement in the 1990s with the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which is prosecuting Trump’s case. Prosecutors had asked that the employer inquiries be axed from the jury questionnaire, but Trump lawyer Todd Blanche had responded that “depriving of the information because of what the press is doing isn’t the answer.” The district attorney’s office on Monday sought a $3,000 fine for Trump for three Truth Social posts they said violated the gag order.
