Jury selection begins in first criminal trial for former President Donald Trump

Jury selection begins Monday in the “hush money” trial of former President Donald Trump. Trump, who strongly denies breaking any laws, is charged in New York with trying to illegally cover up an alleged affair with an adult film star. There are more than 500 potential jurors being considered for the historic trial.

I wonder where Trump got the idea that he will have 200 million loving people behind him as he goes to trial.

That was just heartless. What has his son done to deserve that? Nothing.
