"It has been a tumultuous third day of jury selection in Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial. The day began with seven seated jurors, but now there are just five. Two jurors were dismissed after being seated and sworn in. The first, a nurse from Manhattan who said that she feared she could not be impartial or fair, could not keep the outside influences out of her judgment of the case. After people started reaching out and asking if she was on the jury, she was concerned about identifying information about her making its way to the media and being able to identify her.

"Then later in the day, a second juror was dismissed. This man, an IT professional, had said during questioning that he found Donald Trump mysterious and fascinating. But prosecutors raised questions about whether he had honestly answered a question about, having in the past been accused or convicted of a crime. Prosecutors said they found a news article about a man with the same name who had been arrested in the 1990s for tearing down political posters in the New York City suburbs. After a conference in court where the man was was brought back to the courthouse to answer questions, he was dismissed from the jury as well."

4. VARIOUS STILLS of Donald Trump in court during jury selection
STORYLINE:
Two jurors in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial were dismissed Thursday, one after expressing doubt about her ability to be fair and impartial and the other over concerns that some of his answers in court may not have been accurate.
The dismissals reduce to five the number of jurors who have been seated for the first-ever criminal trial of a former president.
The setbacks in the selection process emerged during a frenetic morning in which prosecutors also asked for Trump to be held in contempt over a series of social media posts this week, while the judge in the case barred reporters from identifying jurors’ employers after expressing privacy concerns.
