Kayla Epstein After a morning that saw legal teams haggling over what evidence can be presented at trial and over whether Trump violated a gag order, the jury selection process is now about to get underway.
Reporting from court
Justice Merchan is getting the jury selection process started with a batch of 96 potential jurors who will soon enter the courtroom.
Given the contentious nature of the case, the court is going to do everything it can to protect the jury. Justice Merchan is going over the rules for how both parties will learn their names.
Each juror will be given a number. The lawyers will get a sheet of paper with names that correspond to those numbers.
But Justice Merchan warns sternly that the lawyers must not photograph, copy or share that document in any way. When they’re done with the first batch of 96, the parties must return the list to Justice Merchan.
My colleague Madeline Halpert has reported on the jury selection effort. You can read her coverage here.
