The hush money trial of former President Donald Trump is reaching a pivotal moment as jury selection continues in New York. So far, seven jurors have been chosen, including a mix of professionals and lawyers, but eleven more still need to be sworn in before opening statements can begin.
This highly anticipated trial is expected to reveal potentially unflattering details about Trump’s private life before his presidency. Prospective jurors have been thoroughly questioned about their knowledge of Trump and any potential biases they may hold. One juror even described Trump as “fascinating and mysterious.”
Meanwhile, Trump himself has complained about the judge rushing the trial process. The case centers around a $130,000 payment made to porn actor Stormy Daniels in order to keep her claims of a sexual encounter with Trump from going public. The former president is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and could potentially face up to four years in prison if convicted.
This trial is just one of four criminal prosecutions Trump is currently facing as he attempts to reclaim the White House. However, it may be the only case to go to trial before the upcoming November election. As the jury selection process continues, all eyes are on New York as this high-profile trial unfolds.
