An oncology nurse and a man with 'no spare time': Meet the first 7 jurors of Trump’s hush money trial

The first seven people were selected to serve on the jury in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York on Tuesday after they made it clear to both sides that they could render a fair and impartial verdict.

They were chosen on the second day of the trial after prosecutors and the defense team whittled down a group of 96 potential jurors. At one point, state Judge Juan Merchan admonished Trump after he observed him audibly mouthing something in the direction of one of the jurors, who had been asked about a social media post she made the day Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election.

"I won't tolerate that," Merchan said. "I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom." Trump's lawyers ultimately eliminated the woman from the jury pool.

The seven chosen so far were sworn in Tuesday and directed by Merchan to return to court Monday.

Twelve people will be seated on the jury, and each side will select alternates. The trial is expected to last as long as eight weeks.
