Former President Donald Trump is set to stand trial in a criminal case on charges of falsifying business records relating to hush money payments. Trump's attorney and Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett believes the prosecution is backfiring.

Jarrett's comments come after a letter sent to both 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. However, potential jurors won't be asked about their voting history or whether they have made any financial campaign contributions.
