"Judge Denies Trump's Request to Delay Hush-Money Trial, Jury Selection Set for Next Week"

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York has approved a 42-question jury questionnaire that excludes inquiries about political affiliations, stating that the purpose of jury selection is to ensure impartiality. The questionnaire covers a wide range of topics, including jurors' backgrounds, media consumption, and potential biases. The judge also announced that jurors will remain anonymous due to concerns about bribery and harassment. The trial is set to begin next week, and Trump's attempt to delay it was rejected by a state appeals court judge.
