orders are crafted, notice that they often exempt the judge, often exempt the prosecutor, but refer to individual citizens who are part who did not choose to be part of this. they literally, by virtue of being having a driver's license, got a letter in the mail are being brought into court and being pulled into e former presint it is se from daers to peopland it also hurts the ems saying jake, yeah, i mean, just look at the way that trump's friends in the sial dia world and also the mediaorld have behaved. and iprevio in previous situations, the whistleblower the white house who you know, i mean, even when told, don't name this person, you're going to put his or her life at risk. >> they've named it without getting all histrionic about putting people's lives at risk. this undermines the integrity of the system, whether you like it or not, you are a defendant in this system and are entitled to a fair trial. you're number one getting in the way of your own ability to get a fair trial,
really think, because everybody shares everything on social media. >> the judge did not have to exclude all of these people who raised their hands and said that they could not be fair. he could have tried to rehab i'm going to take each one of them one-by-one saying, if i instruct you on the law, could you still be fair what he did was get get out of the room. everybody who might be on the bubble and everybody it'd be the kind of problem that you're talking about jake, who might have questionable views about the president in either direction and might not be able to be fair what he's done is created in effect, a jury i've tofu, of folks who can sort of swing in any direction and be palatable to all sides. and so in using a hatchet, he's sort of been more efficiently let me go to paul ricci has some new details from this breaking news or the fact that a full 12th person jury has been seated and their only looking than one alternate. they're just looking for five. were alton it's paula, what he got for us exactly right. and right now, the judge says he will continue jury selection tomorrow. and he hopes that they will finish
trump there after the breaking news, a jury of 12 have been seated and selected to adjudicate in the criminal hush money cover up case against mr. trump. >> all happening just in the last half hour or so. mr. trump, they're saying that this is not fair, that this case is going on, that it is an unfair case. he cited a number of conservative writers saying as much. he also cited a rolling stone article for more than a year ago, suggesting that there are people who don't like trump, but thinks think this case is week. let's go straight to cnn senior justice correspondent evan pettis, who's that's why the courthouse haven't quite a whirlwind of a day it is a whirlwind of a day. >> jake, look, we started pretty rough. where we had to jurors who had been put on the panel where we were excused from serving. one of them because she said that she no longer believed she could be fair. she was concerned about details about her but her life that made it out into the
have people on here like, for example, an african american woman who said that cheap she believes that the former president speaks his mind and i'd rather someone who's, who's in office, who then someone who doesn't know, you don't know what they're thinking? but that's one of the jurors who was chosen to sit on this on this jury. another juror, who the former president his legal team, tried to remove from the from the jury she said she described him as he seems very selfish, very self-serving in the end, she said that she believed she could be fair. so now we have this jury is seated jake, we expect that tomorrow the judge will continue choosing alternates. we believe he's going to choose as many as six alternates. one has been chosen already. and so this process is going to continue again tomorrow, beginning at around 11, a.m. all right.
because it was gonna be about six alternate jurors. obviously, given the stakes of this case, and the amount of trouble we've had it's probably smart for the judge to have as many alternatives as he can in order to account for any issues that might arise over the next few weeks at this trial goes on and so he's being very, very careful. he says he's going to continue this process tomorrow, is not going to go through the questionnaire, so we're not going to hear any more about those jurors. they're gonna come back tomorrow morning. >> i think he's planning get started somewhere around 11, 30 tomorrow morning. >> jake all right. >> evan perez, thanks so much. let's go back to paula reid paula, you have some more details? >> yeah. just waiting for our team to vet what we report, so we don't identify anyone again, you just showed up to be their civic duty with details on two additional jurors have been selected. one is a retired wealth manager who is married with two kids. this man has hobbies, he says include fly fishing and yoga. says, he hears things from people and he
appetizer it is surprising because of all of the factors we've been talking about in this case, as we saw, we thought we had a bunch of jurors today and lost some of them. there there's going to continue to be a lot of publicity around the trial and they still have to get five more people that would that would be a lot to happen tomorrow, which will be the one day the next but it could but it could happen. we will see yeah. let me go to kara scannell, who is outside the courtroom right now in manhattan. qarrah, you've been in court as this is all developed, tell us what you've seen yeah, jake quite a reversal from where we started the de where those two jurors were excused. now, we have a full jury that is compatible. prized of seven menn and five women. a mix of people in finance we have speech therapists, physical therapists, just a mix of manhattan nights. that's the need the workers who will judge trump they are continuing to go through the jury now to select the alternative it is important to note that this all happened very quickly in just the last
>> evan paris and new york. thank you so much. cnn's daniel dale is cnn's resident fact checker. he's handy to have around the times like this, daniel, we just heard a little speech from mr. trump. what do you make of it? did he say anything? thing that was not true? >> he did. i mean, it was mostly unshakeable subjective opinion, but he did say a few things that weren't weren't quite right at very least. so he repeated his false conspiracy theory that essentially the joe biden is behind this case, which was brought by a locally elected district attorney. he said biden is behind it. he has this top people working with the da's the office to make sure everything goes right. there is no basis for that. that appears to be a reference to a former justice department official who went to work for the da's office, but there's no sign that that was anything but his own employment decision. in fact, this former official, matthew colangelo, had previously been a colleague of de bragg, so he rejoined his old colleague. he also claimed that biden is a crooked president, should be on trial. i think that's mostly opinion, but i think it's worth noting, jake, that we've had this extended republican house
is very similar to the bill that passed the united states senate about two months ago. and that is one big reason why democrats our signaling that they may very well come to speaker johnson's defense. so i just put the day speaking to republicans and democrats up and down the line. it is very clear that democrats or the republicans our badly divided on this subject about this bill and about whether johnson deserve to remain speaker he's your support for your motion to vacate growing it is growing and i think some people are becoming more angry than i am so this we'll see what happens today. i don't know how long people are going to tolerate this because he's doing nothing but serving the democrats i haven't made up my mind yet i'm not happy about this rule and he's pushing us to the brink here. what do you think that for efforts to try to oust him from the job, i think i think it's a disservice to the conservative movement. >> i think it's a disservice to the country so the way this is going to break down jake is that on saturday, we expect
going on. democrats want to use that as leverage, perhaps extract more concessions in the days ahead here, jake, i'm honor, you spoke with congresswoman marjorie taylor greene today. she's the one leading the charge to get rid of speaker johnson as she saying when exactly she's going to force this vote, she's still is not saying that jake, in fact, he was one of the members who are outraged over the potential the rules change to make it harder for the call for such a vote. so she had suggested perhaps you could do it before that rule change would move ahead, but now that johnson is not actually going to push forward on that rules change. we'll see how green decides to move forward. she does say she has more support on for this cause, but if democrats as come to johnson's defense, he could stay in this in his position with bipartisan support all right. >> manu raju, thanks so much joining us now to discuss congressman anthony d'esposito is a republican representing new york's fourth congressional district. he is a member of the house homeland security committee, used to be a police officer, congressman.
her co panelists did yeah. >> and the thing about joseph mossad anybody paying attention to this campus controversy story would know that he wrote that story calling the hamas attack but praising it as a victory that's what martin months ago, months ago. and one would think that the university would say, okay, well, this guy maybe shouldn't be chairing our committee, but universities are tough place, jake write and they don't play by unfortunately don't play by the same rules as the normal world does. or summaries. and in terms of ten years guaranteed forever and ever and ever, that's that means no matter what you'd like, this court, supreme court exactly what not even the supreme court had the supreme court, you could kind of booted if you did something that badly. but the bigger question is the bds movement on campus, right? has been existing. the boycott divestment, sanction of israel. but it's been going on for a long time. one of my good friends ran this organization called campus maccabees, which tried to try to battle back and push on this for years. it's been going on and he would he
