Donald Trump is on trial, and the hush money trial is ongoing. The first step is the selection of the jury - they could live dangerous lives.
On the second day of the trial on Tuesday (April 17), seven of the twelve jurors had already been selected. Judge Juan Merchan said he hopes the actual trial can begin as early as next Monday. The jury will not remain anonymous if things continue like this, predicts the ex-prosecutor Ankush Khardori, who is also worried about the jury in the Trump trial. The trial against the Republicans' expected renewed presidential candidate for the 2024 US election is taking place in the midst of the extremely heated election campaign. According to a report by the Washington Post, one of the potential jurors had worked at a New York bookstore. This could possibly be used to identify them. The judge warned Trump not to intimidate the jury. "I will not allow any jurors to be intimidated in this courtroom," Merchan said.
