"Judge Orders Anonymity for Jurors in Trump's Hush Money Trial"
TL;DR Summary
The judge overseeing the hush money case against former President Donald Trump has ruled to use an anonymous jury, shielding jurors' identities from the public and press due to concerns of bribery, jury tampering, or physical harm. Trump and attorneys will know the jurors' identities, but the public will not. The trial is set to begin on March 25, and Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels. This is the first of four pending criminal cases against Trump to go to trial.
