Anyone who has ever served knows jury duty can be tedious, sometimes interesting or emotional, and often forgettable. But for seven people selected today to sit in judgment of the criminal trial of a former president of the united states, the experience will likely be hard to forget on so many levels. Today in the second day of Jury Selection in Donald Trumps new york hush money trial, the seven anonymous individuals, the first of an eventual 18 jurors to be impanelled for the case have been sworn in. They are a salesman, an oncology nurse, two attorneys, an i. T. Consultant, a teacher, and a software engineer, selected in a process that has confronted some Perspective Jurors with their past actions and remarks over hints of potential partiality. Laura jarrett is covering the trial for us. Reporter tonight, seven jurors have now been chosen to sit in judgment of former President Trump, who left for the courthouse this morning, then closely watching what one juror who was dismissed described as a surreal selection process.

But i walk in there, and hes a defendant, and thats all he is. The defense team raising successful objections to a handful by pointing out past social media posts, including one who said lock him up. While the judge fumed at mr. Trump for appearing to mutter something, warning, i will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom. Jury selection is ongoing until 12 people and 6 alternates are selected. The former president is accused of falsifying business records, a low level felony, by Mischaracterizing A Hush Money payment he allegedly directed Michael Cohen make to Stormy Daniels as Legal Expenses on his companys books. Mr. Trump pleaded not good. Guilty. Its called Legal Expenses. Thats what youre supposed to call it. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. Reporter meanwhile in washington, the supreme courts conservative majority appearing skeptical of a federal obstruction law that could affect some charges mr. Trump faces in a different criminal case. The case in front of the justices about a former Police Officer who wants charges stemming from his participation in january 6th dropped. The same law mr. Trump has been charged with in his election interference case. But some of the justices today pressing the government to explain whether the law could unfairly sweep up those engaged in legitimate protests. What happened on january 6th was very, very serious. But we need to find out what are the outer reaches of this statute under your interpretation. And laura, if we could turn back at todays trial, the former president , a lot of focus today was on the Perspective Jurors social media posts about mr. Trump. Yes, lester. And clearly the defense team had done a deep dive on the Perspective Jurors. Several were brought in, pressed on what they had said as long as six years ago.
