"Trump's Hush Money Trial: Former President Returns to Court for Jury Selection"
Jury selection for the hush money trial of former President Donald Trump is nearing completion in New York, with seven jurors already selected and 11 more to be sworn in. Prospective jurors have been questioned about their knowledge of Trump and potential biases, with some acknowledging their opinions about him. The trial centers on a $130,000 payment made to Stormy Daniels to prevent her claims of a sexual encounter with Trump from becoming public before the 2016 election. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and could potentially face up to four years in prison if convicted. This is one of four criminal prosecutions Trump is facing as he seeks to return to the White House.
