| Trump trial live updates: Judge excusing biased jurors in Trump hush-money case - BBC News | |

| During just the first two days of jury selection, we've seen how hard it could be to find 12 impartial New Yorkers and several alternates to serve on this jury in the Donald Trump's trial. | |
| Yesterday, more than half of the first batch of jurors were excused because they said they could not be impartial. | |
| Today, several people have already been excused for the same reason. | |
| Experts say the high-profile nature of the trial adds to the difficulties. | |
| "There's nobody in the country who doesn't have an opinion one way or another," former Manhattan prosecutor Jeremy Saland told me. | |
| These challenges mean it could take even longer than expected - one to two weeks - to find New Yorkers who can set aside their feelings about Trump to give him the fair trial everyone in the US is entitled to. | |
