Second day of Trump’s hush-money trial ends with seven jurors selected
Donald Trump speaks to the press at the end of the second day of jury selection in his trial over charges that he falsified business records in 2016, in Manhattan state court in New York City on April 16, 2024.Donald Trump’s legal team grilled prospective jurors about their politics and social media posts on the second day of his hush-money trial in a bid to weed out anyone who may be biased against their uniquely controversial client.
Analysis: In the case of Biden vs. Trump, the challenge is overcoming a calcifying political environment On Monday, more than 50 of the first 96 prospective jurors immediately eliminated themselves by declaring they could not be impartial about the case. On Tuesday morning, Judge Merchan had to delay the start of proceedings because several others simply failed to show up.
Another prospective juror refused to answer Mr. Blanche’s question on his political opinions. “My view doesn’t matter,” he said. “If we were sitting in a bar, I would tell you.” When Mr. Blanche produced a video the man had posted disparaging Mr. Trump, Judge Merchan agreed that the man had credibility problems and barred him.
“We have a Trump-hating judge. We have a judge who shouldn’t be on this case. He’s totally conflicted,” he told reporters in a hallway outside the courtroom.
