Amid Donald Trump's hush money case, a law professor says the prosecution's 'strength' is Trump's 'unique conduct' as a public figure.
Legal analyst Rebecca Roiphe says Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's 'strength' against Donald Trump in his criminal hush money trial is that the former president isn't a 'run of the mill' businessman.Trump on Monday became the first former president in U.S. history to stand trial in a criminal case.
Roiphe's comments come after some people have raised concern over the difficulty of finding potential jurors in the case due to Trump being a public figure.In a letter sent to the prosecution and defense on April 8, Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the case, listed 42 questions he agreed each prospective juror would be asked before the jury selection was made. These included questions about what publications they read and if they had attended pro or anti-Trump rallies.
