Twelve jurors and one alternate have been seated in Donald Trump’s hush money case, quickly propelling the jury selection process forward after a morning that saw two previously sworn-in jurors dismissed. Lawyers now need to select five alternates to round out the panel that will decide the first-ever criminal case against a former U.S. president. The case is the first of Trump’s four indictments to reach trial. Trump is accused of falsifying internal business records and making payoffs to two women as part of a scheme to bury stories he worried would hurt his 2016 campaign. He has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts.
