Jury selected for Donald Trump's hush-money trial | BBC News

A full 12-person jury has been sworn in for ex-USPresident Donald Trump's historic criminal trial in New York City.

"We have our jury," Justice Juan Merchan declaredafter seven men and five women were selected for the panel.

The jury-selection process had faced an initial setbackafter the judge dismissed two jurors who had been seated earlier this week.

The trial, the first ever in which a former US presidentis the defendant, stems from a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
