At least 50 jurors were dismissed after saying they could not be impartial in judging former president Donald Trump
Former US President Donald Trump appears ahead of the start of jury selection at Manhattan Criminal Court The judge in Donald Trump’s hush money trial dismissed dozens of potential jurors on Monday who said they could not impartially decide whether the former US president is guilty or innocent of criminal charges.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, has charged Mr Trump with falsifying records to cover up a $130,000 payment in the waning days of the 2016 presidential campaign to buy the silence of porn star Stormy Daniels about a 2006 sexual encounter she has said they had. Lawyers from both sides will seek to impanel 12 jurors and six alternates to hear what could be the only criminal case Mr Trump faces before the 5 November election.
A guilty verdict would not bar Mr Trump from office, but half of independent voters and one in four Republicans say they would not vote for him if he were convicted, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Wearing his signature blue suit and red tie, Mr Trump watched from the defendant’s table as prosecutors asked a judge to fine him and remind him he could go to jail for violating a gag order that bars him from interfering with potential witnesses.Prosecutors asked the judge to fine Mr Trump $1,000 for each of three social-media posts this month about Mr Cohen and Ms Daniels.
Mr Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to violating campaign finance law, though the federal prosecutors who brought that case did not charge Trump.
