"Trump's Hush Money Trial: Jury Selection and Legal Past Explained"

Jury selection resumed in the hush money trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City, with the judge aiming to have 12 jurors and alternates selected by the end of Friday. The proceedings faced a setback as a juror expressed concerns about impartiality and was dismissed. The judge criticized media reporting on jurors' details and ordered anonymity to be maintained due to safety concerns. Trump expressed frustration over the limited number of challenges for jury selection. The trial involves allegations of falsifying business records to conceal payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, which Trump denies.

"Mary Trump's Testimony and Hush Money Trial Shake Trump's Post-Presidential Plans"

Mary Trump believes that the confirmed April 15 trial date for Donald Trump's falsifying business records trial in New York could be his "worst nightmare," potentially leading to a criminal conviction before the 2024 election and damaging his presidential hopes. Despite Trump's dismissal of the impact on his White House aspirations, Mary Trump cited polling data suggesting that a conviction could significantly hinder his chances. Legal experts suggest that even if found guilty, it is unlikely that Trump would face jail time, but the trial's outcome could still have significant political implications.

Judge Limits Trump's Social Media Use in Criminal Case

A protective order has been imposed in the Manhattan district attorney's criminal case against former President Donald Trump to prevent evidence shared by the DA's office from being shared on the internet. Trump pleaded not guilty last month to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection to an "illegal scheme" to influence the 2016 presidential election. The order prohibits the copying, disseminating, or disclosing of covered materials to any third party, including social media platforms, without prior approval from the court. The order does not stop Trump from speaking generally about the case on the campaign trail.

Trump's Last-Ditch Legal Effort Fails.

Legal experts have said that former President Donald Trump's request to move his upcoming criminal trial for allegedly falsifying business records from a state court to a federal court is unlikely to succeed. Trump's lawyers filed the request on Thursday, citing alleged violations of federal election law. However, legal analysts have pointed out that requests to move a case from a state to federal court are rare, and the federal statute cited by Trump's team is narrow in scope. Some experts suggest that the request is another delaying tactic by the former president.

Manhattan DA accuses Trump of falsifying records to cover up election crimes.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg accused former President Donald Trump of falsifying business records to cover up crimes related to the 2016 presidential election. Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records stemming from a probe into hush money payments made to two women ahead of the 2016 election. Bragg said Trump made false statements when he reimbursed his former lawyer Michael Cohen for the payments, claiming they were for legal services. The alleged scheme to conceal payments from the public violated New York election law, which makes it a crime to conspire to promote a candidacy by unlawful means.
