Trump juror sent home as selection encounters new difficulties

Former US president Donald Trump returns from a recess in his trial for allegedly falsifying records for alleged payments made to buy the silence of an adult film star who claimed she had an affair with him in the run-up to the 2016 election.

Hundreds of prospective jurors have been brought in for questioning since Monday, with dozens already dismissed for claiming they could not set aside their bias when it came to determining Mr Trump’s fate. Seven were eventually picked after two days of intense scrutiny of their media habits, political views and personal circumstances.Scholz visits Beijing but tensions simmer on Russia and Gaza

Minutes later, lawyers for the Manhattan district attorney, who brought the case, revealed their research had uncovered that a male juror may not have been truthful about his past, and had been arrested for ripping down right-wing political posters in the Westchester County area of New York state in the 1990s. His wife may have been “previously accused or involved in a corruption inquiry”, the district attorney’s office said.
