"Insights into the Jury Selection for Donald Trump's Hush Money Trial"

Jury selection for Donald Trump's hush money business fraud trial began with initial difficulties but concluded with a seated jury, including seven men and five women, with five alternates to be selected. The trial is expected to be contentious, with the defense being kept in the dark about the prosecution's first witnesses and potential limitations on discussing Trump's legal history. The process revealed jurors' opinions of Trump, with some expressing negative views but asserting their ability to be fair and impartial. The unpredictability of high-profile trials was evident, as jurors were dismissed for various reasons, and the prosecution refused to disclose its first witnesses to prevent Trump from posting on social media. Further jury selection and discussions on Trump's legal history are set for Friday.
