"Judge Orders Anonymity for Jurors in Trump's Criminal Trial"
Donald Trump will be allowed to know the names of jurors at his upcoming New York hush-money criminal trial, but the public will not. The Manhattan judge ruled to keep the jury anonymous, with limited exceptions for the former president, his defense lawyers, prosecutors, jury consultants, and legal staff. Despite the restrictions, the judge has no plans to close the courtroom for jury selection or at any other time in the trial. Trump is accused of falsifying internal records to hide payments to his former lawyer Michael Cohen, and this will be the first of his four criminal cases to go to trial. The ruling comes in response to a request from prosecutors, citing Trump's history of attacking jurors in other proceedings.
