US-POLITICS-JUSTICE-COURT-TRUMP

Former US President Donald Trump, with lawyer Todd Blanche (L), attends the second day of his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments linked to extramarital affairs, at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City on April 16, 2024. Trump said April 15, 2024 that he has a “real problem” with the judge handling his New York criminal case — and that he should be on the campaign trail instead of in court. “We’re not going to be given a fair trial,” Trump told reporters outside the Manhattan courtroom after jury selection ended for the day in his “hush money” trial, one of four separate criminal cases he faces.

Jurors started being sworn in in the afternoon, beginning with a panel of 96 people. More than half of prospective jurors in that first group were excused, though, after saying they could not be fair and impartial. ~ NewsNation
