"Trump Hush Money Trial: Explosive Developments and Courtroom Drama"
Jury selection for the criminal trial of former President Donald J. Trump concluded with 12 jurors and six alternates being empaneled, while a man set himself on fire in a park across the street from the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse. The trial, stemming from a hush-money payment made during the 2016 presidential campaign, is expected to begin opening statements next week. The man who set himself on fire was critically injured and transported to a hospital. Additionally, potential jurors opened up about their lives in court, with some becoming emotional, and a Sandoval hearing is scheduled to determine the questions prosecutors can ask Trump if he chooses to testify.
