In the trial concerning hush money payments involving former President Donald Trump, Justice Juan Merchan dismissed numerous potential jurors who couldn’t assure impartial judgment.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with falsifying records to conceal a payment to Stormy Daniels.

Trump denies the allegations.

The trial, involving jury selection and potential testimony from key figures like Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels, is underway, Reuters reported.

Violating a gag order, Trump faces potential fines. Despite protests and Trump’s claims of political persecution, the trial continues.
