First Six Jurors Chosen In Trump Criminal Case

NEW YORK (AP) — The first six jurors for Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial have been chosen after lawyers grilled members of the jury pool about their social media posts, political views and personal lives to decide whether they can fairly sit in judgement of the former president. The court began filling out the jury of 12 people, along with six alternates, who will decide whether to convict Trump of charges accusing him of falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal during his 2016 campaign for president. Possible jurors were quizzed for hours about their views on Trump and other issues, and eight were excused after saying they could not be impartial or because they had other commitments.
