Day 2 of Trump New York hush money trial

Donald Trump's attorney Todd Blanche is questioning a potential juror who posted on social media in the past about politics.

"I feel that politically, we have big disagreements, your client and myself," the juror said. "There are certain things he’s said that I don’t care for. But lots of people say things I don’t care for."

She added, "But when I’m coming here, that can’t count, that has to go away."

One of the posts lawyers highlighted was from the New Yorker's satirical "Borowitz report," about Republicans picking up "70 seats in prison" back in 2018.

With three jurors now seated, Donald Trump's attorneys have raised a challenge against another potential juror.

They're bringing in the juror being challenged to discuss her social media posts.

Attorney Todd Blanche showed the juror a post from her Facebook page in 2018. She said that looks like her, and that she has since stopped posting about politics since.

She said she has "very little" to do with politics now "because it got too vitriolic for me."

Blanche asked her about saying she could be impartial and that she said she had to sleep on it.

"I didn’t have to sleep on it about being impartial," the juror said. "I slept on it in terms of the seriousness in terms of what’s going on in this room."

Three people have been seated on the jury.

Jury selection will continue until a panel of 12 New Yorkers and six alternates have been selected.

Judge Juan Merchan granted the defense team's challenge for cause and struck potential juror No. 6.

Merchan said that the social media posts on their own aren't reason to dismiss, but combined with his demeanor and some of the answers he gave, "I’m having a hard time crediting some of his responses."

Potential juror No. 6 acknowledged he reposted a negative AI video about Trump in March earlier this year.

"I don’t recall watching it,” the juror said, when questioned in court.

He reiterated his views of Trump "outside of this room" do not weigh on how he'd conduct himself as a juror.

Judge Juan Merchan has called in juror No. 6 into the courtroom, who is being challenged by Trump's attorneys over Facebook posts.

"That is from my Facebook account," the juror said, noting that he sells buttons to support a get-out-the-vote political organization.

Donald Trump's team is now challenging potential juror No. 6.

Judge Juan Merchan read a social media post Trump's team flagged from the juror.

"Want to beat Trump in 2024?" Merchan read the post in part. There's also a photo of display tables with a Biden-Harris poster on it.

Trump attorney Todd Blanche also raised two social media posts on Facebook from yesterday from this juror, where he was asked if he got picked and he said, "I have to go back tomorrow."

Judge Juan Merchan declines to dismiss a potential juror for cause or bring her in for questioning.

"These are posts from over 8 years ago, not involving the juror, involving the juror’s husband," he says.

"I'm not going to make further inquiry," Merchan said.

Former President Donald Trump is leaning back in his chair. He turned to his lawyer Emil Bove and made a remark when Merchan made that ruling.

Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass said that the social media posts in question are jokes and not an indication of bias.

"It is not necessarily as weighty as it's being suggested," he says.
