HeadlineApr 19, 2024

Twelve jurors — 7 men and 5 women — have been selected for Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial. The si alternates will likely be chosen by the end of today, with opening arguments starting as early as Monday. Trump is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to hide $130,000 paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016. Prosecutors said Thursday Trump has repeatedly violated his gag order, and asked Judge Juan Merchan to hold Trump in contempt.
