A criminal law expert has expressed surprise that prosecutors have allowed two lawyers onto the Donald Trump jury in New York.Only seven jurors have been chosen so far—and two of them are corporate attorneys.The prosecution will try to prove that, before the 2016 presidential election, Trump paid two women—adult film star Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal—not to reveal his alleged affairs with them.
With seven jurors selected on Tuesday and a break in the trial on Wednesday, prosecutors and Trump's attorney are expected to continue selecting the five remaining jurors and six alternates on Thursday.New York attorney Colleen Kerwick told Newsweek that Trump's team may want an attorney to be on the jury because Cohen has been disbarred from practicing law and a lawyer could view him with suspicion.
