Key takeaways from the second day of Donald Trump’s New York hush money trial.

The locksmith. The golf hobbyist. The sports podcast listener. The woman who said she once dated a lawyer but clarified that the relationship ended just fine.

One of the selected jurors, a middle-aged man who has lived in the city for 40 years and previously lived in Puerto Rico, said he once served on a jury in a civil trial long ago but can’t remember the verdict. The IT consultant said he reads some news and enjoys spending time with his family.Another is a young college-educated woman who lives in Chelsea with three roommates. She’s a software engineer who gets her news from the New York Times and TikTok.

In another instance, Blanche showed the court that a prospective juror posted a derogatory AI video about Trump. The prospective juror had also responded to questions on social media about whether he had been picked for the jury, answering that he was required to return Tuesday. Upon questioning from Merchan, the potential juror said that he sells buttons to raise money for nonpartisan voter mobilization and that he didn’t recall watching the video before reposting it.

“I read the ‘Art of the Deal’ and, I want to say, ‘Count be rich … ‘Champion,’ or something like that,” that person said.When the prosecutor asked one now-dismissed juror — who had posted years ago that Trump should be “locked up” — whether he still believed the former president should be looked up, the man answered “no.” Trump craned his neck toward the person and smirked.
