The court has chosen 12 people to serve on the jury for Donald Trump’s trial in New York City.
This is a big deal because it’s the first time a former U.S. president is facing criminal charges.
The trial is about money paid to a porn star to keep quiet about an alleged affair with Trump before the 2016 election.
The jury selection happened faster than expected, and the trial could start as soon as Monday.
However, there were some bumps along the way, like two jurors being dismissed. One realized she couldn’t be impartial because of outside pressure, and another may have lied about his past.
BBC reports that this trial is unusual, and there’s a lot of pressure on everyone involved. The process of finding impartial jurors continues.
