No jurors picked on Trump’s first day of hush money trial: Recap

The trial held in Manhattan featured motion arguments and jury selection, with 200 jurors potentially available for the panel.
Over half of the initial group were dismissed for inability to remain impartial, causing delays as the selection process for 12 jurors and six alternates could last two weeks.
The historic trial in Manhattan began with no jurors selected; by Tuesday morning, eight were excused due to bias or prior commitments, and many potential jurors remain unvetted.
