“Former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York begins Monday with an immediate and fundamental challenge: selecting a jury that can fairly judge one of the most famous and polarizing figures alive,” Politico reports.
“How, precisely, to pick a Trump jury — 12 people and a handful of alternates — is a question that prosecutors and lawyers for Trump have been grappling with in several state and federal courts for months.
Trump last week called the process ‘pure luck.’ His lawyers will spend the next week hoping to prove him wrong.”
