>> reporter: tonight, the jury is set in the first criminal trial of a former president. seven men and five women will decide whether donald trump falsified business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn actress stormy daniels, to hide their alleged affair from voters before the 2016 election. it came after a morning of setbacks. with trump looking on, two jurors selected earlier in the week removed by judge juan merchan. the first, an oncology nurse, asking to be let go, saying she "definitely has concerns now" about her identity becoming public. she had already received questions from friends, colleagues, and family, adding, "i don't believe at this point that i can be fair and unbiased." another juror ousted for a different reason -- prosecutors determining an i.t. consultant did not answer the juror questionnaire truthfully by failing to reveal his arrest in the 1990s for "tearing down political advertisements." lawyers for the prosecution and defense then questioning a new batch of jurors to fill out the
