"Trump's Hush-Money Trial: Jury Selection Underway"

Former President Donald Trump's hush-money trial begins with jury selection in New York, where he faces charges of falsifying business records to conceal stories about his sex life. The trial, a historic moment in American history, coincides with Trump's campaign for the presidency. The judge denied a defense request to recuse himself and ruled that the "Access Hollywood" recording cannot be played for the jury but can be discussed. Prosecutors also asked for a fine over social media posts violating a gag order. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his lawyers have sought to delay the trial and change the venue. Jury selection is expected to be a challenging process due to Trump's notoriety and the political climate.
