Trump Speaks Out on Jury Selection as ‘Hush-Money’ Trial Adjourns Until Thursday

Former President Donald Trump was critical of the jury selection process for his so-called “hush-money” trial, suggesting the judge should give his defense lawyers more opportunities to strike would-be jurors from the process.

Since Monday, dozens of jurors filed into the Manhattan courtroom where President Trump has been standing trial in the case. Prosecutors allege he falsified business payments to cover up unfavorable news stories during the 2016 election. The jury selection process went on all day Tuesday, with seven jurors being chosen.

There will be no trial dates on Wednesday. On Thursday, the former president will have to return to court in the criminal case.
