Lawyers select 12 jurors to serve in Trump hush-money case
Lawyers in Donald Trump's historic criminal trial on Thursday selected 12 jurors who will assess his guilt or innocence over the coming weeks in a case stemming from a hush-money payment to a porn star.
Lawyers for the defense and the prosecution still must select alternate jurors for the trial‚ the first ever in which a former U.S. president is the defendant.
Opening statements could take place on Monday‚ said Justice Juan Merchan‚ the judge overseeing the trial.
