Seven jurors have been chosen for former President Donald Trump’s trial in the New York hush money case. Trump’s legal team scrutinized potential jurors’ social media profiles for any signs of anti-Trump sentiment and requested the removal of these individuals. However, Judge Merchan reprimanded Trump for trying to intimidate a juror, warning that such behavior will not be tolerated.
The current jury panel comprises four men and three women, some of whom have higher education and legal backgrounds. Trump’s attorneys attempted to disqualify jurors based on alleged anti-Trump social media posts, while prosecutors focused on the specifics of the case during the selection process.
The court aims to finalize the jury selection by the end of the week, with plans to select 12 jurors and six alternates for the trial. The trial will be a key moment for Trump, who faces allegations related to hush money payments made during his time as president. Stay tuned to Guam News Factor for updates on this high-profile case.
