The hush-money case against former President Donald Trump is heating up as prosecutors and Trump’s lawyers clashed over potential jury questions. Trump’s lawyers are attempting to influence the questions prospective jurors would be asked in advance of his Manhattan criminal case. They want to prevent questions related to whether the jurors believe that Trump won the 2020 election and which media they consume. Meanwhile, the former president appeared to bond with Jeffrey Toobin, a legal commentator, in court. The case is set to go to trial with jury selection beginning on March 25. This hearing sets the stage for Trump’s first felony trial, with jury selection beginning on March 25. It will also mark the first time a former president has ever sat for a criminal trial. Several other criminal cases are also pending against Trump, including ones related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and his handling of government records.
