One of the 12 jurors selected to sit for former President Donald Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial in Manhattan may offer some hope for acquittal of the dozens of felony charges filed against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
According to CNN, “Juror No. 2” is an investment banker who is married with no children, but who apparently follows the former president on his Truth Social Platform and has read Trump’s book, “The Art of the Deal.”
The juror also follows Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal “fixer” attorney, who has since turned state’s witness against his former boss after serving jail time when he pleaded guilty to five counts of willful tax evasion; one count of making false statements to a bank; one count of causing an unlawful campaign contribution; and one count of making an excessive campaign contribution.
All 12 jurors and one alternate were chosen on Thursday. The court convenes again on Friday to hopefully name an additional five alternates, which, if that occurs, means opening arguments will begin on Monday.
