(New York, NY) — All 12 jurors have been seated in former President Trump’s hush money criminal trial in New York City. The judge in the case announced “We now have our jury.” The jury consists of seven men and five women. Now six alternates must be selected, and the judge hopes that can be completed by Friday.
Former President Trump is angry that he can’t be on the campaign trail because of what he calls a ridiculous trial in New York City. He spoke out after the 12 jurors had been picked, saying “the whole world is watching this scam” and went on to read news articles criticizing the case. Trump is accused of falsifying business records in order to cover up payments allegedly made to an adult film star just prior to the 2016 election.
