The United States will cross a historic threshold on Monday when for the first time a former president goes on criminal trial in a case laced with fateful significance because Donald Trump could be back in the Oval Office next year.

But as he contemplates the beginning of his trial, Trump appears to be gleaning an understanding that his fate is now out of his hands and will be soon in those of 12 anonymous citizens whom he will not be allowed to bully, persuade or politicize. “Jury selection is largely luck. It depends who you get. It’s very unfair that I’m having a trial there,” Trump said on Friday, alluding to New York City’s liberal lean.
