United States | The first jurors were selected for Trump's historic trial

Tuesday of the former President of the United States Donald Trump's the historic trial in New York now moved forward a little, when the court was able to select the first six jurors.

The jury has 12 members and six deputy jurors. Jury selection may be exceptionally challenging in Trump's trial, as prosecutors and the defense are at odds over who should serve on the jury.

Several juror candidates have already been rejected due to bias or other reasons. US media, among others CNN channelmany have, among other things, announced that they cannot have a neutral attitude towards the former president.

In total, it may take up to two weeks to select the jurors. The trial itself will probably take weeks.

Trump charged with accounting crimes related to porn actress Stormy Daniels (real name Stormy Daniels) during the 2016 presidential election Stephanie Clifford) to the so-called swindling money paid. Trump claims he is not getting a fair trial.

The first day of the trial was on Monday. It is the first time that a US president has answered the charges in a criminal trial.

Appearing in court on Monday, Trump described his trial to reporters as “horrific” and “an attack on the United States.” When he left the place after the session, he claimed, as usual, that the legal proceedings were a “political chase”.

Trump has denied committing the crimes he is accused of.

In the trial, at least Clifford and Trump's former lawyer, who confessed to paying bribes, will be heard as witnesses Michael Cohen.

Trump has promised to testify himself. Lawyers usually do not recommend that the accused testify, as it may harm the accused.

If found guilty, Trump could face years in prison, but experts say a fine is more likely.

Instead, the verdict could affect Trump's election campaign. The 77-year-old Trump is the likely Republican presidential candidate and will face the sitting Democratic president in the November election Joe Biden81.
