Former President Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial is facing "unusual" measures, including an anonymous jury, as he faces 34 felony charges related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels. The judge granted motions to restrict the disclosure of jurors' names and addresses due to concerns of bribery, jury tampering, or physical harm.

Judge Orders Anonymous Jury in E. Jean Carroll's Defamation Case Against Trump

A federal judge in New York has ordered an anonymous jury for the upcoming civil defamation trial between former President Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll, citing Trump's "repeated public statements" about the case and the court. The jurors' names will not be revealed, and they will be kept together during recesses and transported to an undisclosed location before returning home. The trial, scheduled for January, will determine damages as the judge has already determined that Trump's statements were defamatory. Carroll is seeking $10 million.

Trump's requests denied in defamation and rape trials.

A judge has rejected Donald Trump's request to learn the identities of jurors expected to decide whether he defamed writer E. Jean Carroll, who also claims he raped her. The judge said it was his choice whether to use questionnaires, and nothing has changed his decision to seat an anonymous jury at the April 25 trial, reflecting the threat of juror harassment. Trump had argued that his recent criminal indictment had brought on a "deluge of prejudicial media coverage" that would make it tough to find an impartial jury in Carroll's civil case.
