The search for 18 fair and impartial jurors will begin next week in former President Donald Trump's first criminal trial.

Trump faces a 34-count felony indictment alleging that he falsified New York business records in order to conceal damaging information to influence the 2016 presidential election. Monday kicks off jury selection for the trial that is expected to last about six weeks — even as Trump campaigns to be president once again. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

In total, 42 questions will be used to select 12 jurors and six alternates for the first-ever criminal trial featuring a former or sitting president. And this will be Trump's first appearance in a trial since winning enough delegates to receive the GOP nomination.

Still, jurors will not be asked for whom they have voted or will vote, nor will lawyers question them about their political affiliations or campaign contributions. New York Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the trial, believes those views will be made clear through other questions.

Jurors will be asked to identify the online media, news and social media programs they use, podcasts they listen to and if they have ever considered themselves a supporter or a member of any of six white supremacist and extremist groups — including the QAnon movement, Proud Boys and Antifa.

They will also be asked about their business and political relationships with the former president and New York business mogul. Lawyers will ask if prospective jurors, a relative or a close friend ever worked for any company or organization that is owned or run by Trump or anyone in his family. And they will be asked if they have ever attended a rally or campaign event for Trump, volunteered for his campaign or been a part of any "anti-Trump" efforts.

These have all been questions similarly asked in Trump's previous jury trials in Manhattan.

Just as an FYI, it is an Election Interference case, that used false documents filings to achieve that goal.

Paying hush money is not illegal.

False document filings for election interference are.

Some documents were simply made for lying.:laugh:
 
When you are on a jury, it causes most people to feel like a real citizen and open their minds to all the evidence. Most of the rightys on this board could not do that and would fail the questionnaire. Once seated, you feel like doing the right thing, following the laws and evidence. It gives you a feeling of responsibility.

Really, funny, I have been called to jury duty three times in my life and never was I asked to complete a questionnaire prior to being questioned by the attorneys, must be those presiding Judges didn’t know the law

Trump's case is not like the others. Few people go without an opinion of the man. To have as fair a trial as possible, asking them those questions makes sense. The questionnaire is to ferret out the Trump haters and the Trump lovers.
This trial has the problems of the old Mafia trials. Trump does seek retribution for people not following his script. He can be dangerous to "small people".
