NEW YORK (AP) — A jury of 12 people was seated Thursday in former President Donald Trump’s history-making hush money trial, propelling the proceedings closer to opening statements and the start of weeks of dramatic testimony.

The court quickly turned to selecting alternate jurors, with the process on track to wrap up by the end of the week. Prosecutors could begin presenting their case early next week.

The jury of Manhattanites includes a sales professional, a software engineer, a security engineer, a teacher, a speech therapist, multiple lawyers, an investment banker and a retired wealth manager.

The first-ever trial of a former American president is unfolding in New York during this year’s race for the White House, meaning the presumptive Republican nominee will spend his days in court confronted by salacious and unflattering testimony about his personal life while simultaneously campaigning to reclaim the office he held for four years.

My message to Donald Trump:

Good luck, bitch!  

***

I can't wait for him to be found guilty.  The law is very clear, and jurors don't decide what the law should be.  They are shown what the law is, and what the evidence is and he's guilty and will be found guilty.

Why do I feel like this trial will end with a hung jury

lol not to be a pessimist but I’ll do exactly that

i feel like nothing will happen - of real consequence at least. Nothing ever does in this country. Still good that this happens but still cannot save the very bad feeling I have for the upcoming elections

Omg yass. I wonder if they will livestream this for the world's entertainment like the Amber x Johnny case. I hope so.. I'd love to see the memes

Even if this doesn't lead to anything I really hope it affects and interrupts his campaign or even turns some swing-voters away from him

I feel the same way, somehow we’re all gonna get screwed over with no Happy ending. He needs to be locked up but man rich people get away with so much.
