Could You Make It Through Trump Trial Jury Selection?
Jury selection began for former President Trump’s trial in New York City. Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records during his 2016 campaign. Fox News reported that prospective jurors must answer 42 questions on work history, political affiliations, and media consumption.
Could you make it on the jury? Some of the questions are doozies and they must be Manhattan residents and answer aloud. The court also allows follow-up questions may be asked based on responses. So, that gives you an idea of what the jury will look like.
Fox News reported that the first day of the alleged “hush money” trial in New York saw intense moments. As expected, Trump labeled the trial as “political persecution,” denouncing it as an “assault on America.” Prosecutors sought fines for Trump's alleged gag order violations. The judge upheld his decision not to show the "Access Hollywood" tape to jurors. Additionally, Trump criticized the judge's decision barring him from attending his son's graduation and upcoming Supreme Court hearing.
