Democratic voters could serve as jurors in Trump's hush-money case, as judge says lawyers cannot ask about their voting histories.
Donald Trump's legal team cannot ask potential jurors in his upcoming hush-money case about their voting intentions and history, or any past political contributions, according to restrictions imposed by presiding Judge Juan Merchan.The rules, which also apply to the prosecution, mean supporters of the Democratic or Republican parties could serve on the jury, though only if the court is confident they can be impartial and judge the case based only on what they hear during the trial.
'Counsel is forewarned not to seek to expand the degree of intrusion beyond what is relevant and has already been approved.'The 42 approved questions for each juror focus on their personal background, past experiences with law enforcement and the criminal justice system, past association with any Trump companies, and whether they believe they can be impartial.
