Not long after the salacious details of his sex life were laid bare in the opening hours of his first criminal trial, Donald Trump returned to court to hear how he was viewed by prospective jurors who could soon decide his fate.
The observations were made on the second day of Trump’s historic hush money trial, as prosecutors and defence lawyers continued to search for 12 jurors who could determine if Trump is guilty of falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal with porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.By the end of Tuesday afternoon the first six had been selected, cementing their place in a blockbuster trial that could reshape the presidential election in November.
But just before midday, the first group of 18 prospective jurors made it through the initial round - a 42-part questionnaire designed to weed out potential biases - and into the second stage of direct questioning by lawyers.Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass kicked things off by telling the group that the trial against the former president was “not a referendum on whether you like Donald Trump” or “who you’re going to vote for in November”.
