Jury Selection Concludes in Trump’s New York Hush Money Trial

The historic trial, marking the first criminal case against a former U.S. president, is set to begin with opening statements on Monday.

Donald Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection to a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
Jury selection faced multiple challenges, including concerns over juror anonymity and intense media scrutiny.
The final jury comprises seven men and five women, with backgrounds ranging from tech to law, reflecting a diverse cross-section of Manhattan.
Trump’s legal team and prosecutors navigated a complex jury selection process, highlighting the public and political sensitivities surrounding the case.
Opening statements are scheduled for Monday, with the trial expected to last six to eight weeks.
