"Trump Trial: Jury Concerns and Media Restrictions Dominate Live Updates"

Prosecutors in Donald Trump's New York hush money trial accused him of violating the gag order seven more times on social media, prompting a hearing on the alleged violations next week. One juror was excused due to concerns about her identity being made public, leaving six jurors and six alternates to be selected. Despite the setback, the trial is proceeding at a faster pace than expected, with opening arguments potentially starting by Monday. Trump has criticized the trial as a political "witch hunt" and used the media attention to spread campaign messages and attack his political foes.
