50 jury candidates said in the hush money trial that they couldn’t be fair to Trump and were allowed to leave. The start of this historic trial focuses on the question of how the ex-president can get a fair trial.
The taking of evidence will probably be the most exciting part of the criminal trial against Donald Trump. What will Michael Cohen, former employee and current opponent of the ex-president, say? What information will Stephanie Gregory Clifford, who once made erotic films under the stage name Stormy Daniels and received the hush money, provide? And will Hope Hicks, former communications director in the White House and still a close Trump confidant, inadvertently become a key witness against the ex-president she admires?
