Trump Hush Money Trial: Opening Statements to Begin

The judge overseeing the case has limited what media can report

Donald Trump will be judged in his historic New York criminal trial by 12 jurors selected last week.

To protect juror safety, the judge overseeing the case has limited what the media can report about them, including their employers and any identifying information that was not explicitly stated in the record, such a gender or age. 

JUROR 1: 

Originally from Ireland, the first juror and foreperson lives in West Harlem and has worked in sales for 28 years.

The juror said they have heard about Trump's three other criminal cases, to which Trump has pleaded not guilty.
