Jurors set in former President Trump's criminal trial

(New York, NY)  --  Former President Trump is back in court today with all 12 jurors now seated in his criminal hush money trial in New York City.  

The jury that will decide the fate of the first ex-president in American history to stand trial on criminal charges consists of seven men and five women. Now six alternates must be selected, with the possibility of opening statements starting as soon as Monday. When entering the court today, Trump said he should be on the campaign trial instead of being in the courthouse all day.

The former President is accused of falsifying business records in order to cover up payments allegedly made to an adult film star just prior to the 2016 election.
