Former President Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial began with potential jurors responding to a list of questions. The selection process will continue on Tuesday. Trump faces felony counts for falsifying business records and is accused of violating a gag order by making salacious comments about the judge's family on social media.
Day one of former President Donald Trump 's hush money criminal trial wrapped up on Monday, as 96 potential jurors all responded to a list of 42 questions. However, the selection process was not finalized, and proceedings are set to resume on Tuesday.With Trump in the courtroom, prosecutors alleged that the former president violated an April 1 gag order not to make salacious comments about the Judge Juan Merchan's family on social media .
Merchan said he will hear arguments over whether Trump violated the gag order on April 24. The judge is giving Trump's attorneys until Friday to formally respond to Conroy's allegations. Trump sat at the defense table flipping through documents as the sides discussed the jury questionnaire. Prosecutors say the Trump Organization paid Cohen in monthly installments and a year-end bonus check.
Selecting a jury could pose a challenge, given that Trump is a prominent political figure seeking the presidency this November. Merchan said questions to jurors should be about whether someone can be fair and impartial, adding that if jurors are eliminated based on their political parties, then the two sides will run out of jurors to strike. They will need to find 12 jurors and six alternates to serve.
