More potential jurors dismissed as Trump’s hush money trial enters second day

NEW YORK (AP) — More potential jurors were dismissed Tuesday from Donald’s Trump’s hush money case as lawyers worked for a second day to find a panel of New Yorkers to decide whether the Republican will become the first former president convicted of a crime.

Possible jurors were quizzed for hours about their views on Trump and other issues, and eight people were excused after saying they could not be impartial or because they had other commitments. Several people said they believed they could decide the case fairly, no matter their feelings about Trump or his policies as president.

No jurors had been chosen by midday Tuesday, and dozens more people could still be questioned.

The methodical process — which could take several more days or even weeks — highlights the unprecedented challenge of finding people who can fairly judge the polarizing defendant, who has cast himself as the victim of political persecution as he vies to reclaim the White House.
