The juror says that she has concerns because "aspects of my identity" have been out there and she's concerned she will not be able to act fair and impartial.
"Yesterday alone, I had friends colleagues and family push things to my phone questioning my identity as a juror," she said.
She is excused.
Trump ally Jason Miller and Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung are seated inside the courtroom, according to reports from journalists in court.
The juror is now speaking with Judge Juan Merchan, who is questioning her.
One of the empaneled jurors called the court expressing concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial. The court asked her to come in to discuss further.
She is here today, and she will enter the courtroom momentarily.
The court is in session. The prosecution and defense will continue to vet prospective jurors to select a jury of 12, along with six alternates.
A fresh panel of 96 potential jurors will be interviewed Thursday, to add to the seven jurors who were seated on Tuesday.
The prosecution and defense have used six peremptory strikes so far. They both have four strikes left.

We begin Day 3 of former President Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial with seven jurors seated. The prosecution and defense have both used six peremptory strikes to remove jurors so far. They both have four strikes left.
What strikes are used for: "There are some people that you think, maybe the other side is going to strike them, therefore, I can spare my strike," Richard Gabriel, a jury consultant, told CNN. "So you're prioritizing who are your most high-risk individuals, and then trying to eliminate them to basically reshape the pool a little bit, so you get the most advantageous hearing."
Both sides are looking for different things, Gabriel added. He said the prosecution is looking for a consensus jury — a group of people that will get along and come to a unanimous verdict. Meanwhile, the defense is looking for high-conflict jury — one that will not get along because even if one juror doesn't agree with the verdict, it's a win for Trump, Gabriel said.
Attorneys can also argue to strike jurors for cause, which the defense did successfully twice on Tuesday.
Social media posts are playing a pivotal role: While the jurors in this case are anonymous to the public, the lawyers were given the identities of the first panel of 96 prospective jurors on Monday. That gave Trump’s team the chance to mine their public social media postings to be ready for their challenges to the judge. Trump's legal team challenged prospective jurors on their ability to be impartial in the proceedings based on their past social media posts.
Judge is tired of this approach: While Judge Juan Merchan struck two potential jurors for cause based on their social media posts, he noted that this cannot happen with every juror. "If you have the goods on someone you need to politely and respectfully" ask them about it, he said.
