Jury selection begins in Trump's historic hush money trial

Donald Trump is in a New York courtroom as jury selection in his criminal hush money trial is underway. Jurors are being vetted through questions that could signal political views.

The process will continue until a panel of 12 New Yorkers and six alternates are selected. More than half of prospective jurors in the first group were dismissed after saying they can't be fair or impartial.

About the case: Trump was charged last year with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records for his alleged role in a hush money scheme before the 2016 election. Trump has pleaded not guilty. Get up to speed on the case here.
