Seven jurors have officially been selected for Donald Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial, leaving eleven more still to come.
Despite the trouble they’re facing, US Correspondent Mitch McCann told Mike Hosking that it is moving faster than people expected.
He said it could have taken up to 22 weeks to select all 18 jurors, and they already have seven.
The issue is finding people who don’t have bias for or against Trump, with 96 potential jurors entering court, 50 of which walked out within ten minutes, unable to be impartial.
Manhattan, McCann said, is in some ways a democrat city as they always vote blue, so he’ll have to “find a few red needles in a blue haystack” as they said in the New York Times.
