TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump complains about the jury selection process for his New York criminal trial, incorrectly suggesting he should have unlimited strikes for potential jurors. The judge has dismissed potential jurors for cause and limited each side to 10 peremptory challenges. Trump's attorney used one challenge to remove a potential juror who celebrated Joe Biden's election win on Facebook. Trump is required to attend the trial, which is expected to last up to eight weeks, limiting his ability to participate in campaign events. Jury selection is set to resume with an additional 96 prospective jurors, and the judge hopes to complete the process by the end of the week. Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment and could be sentenced to up to four years in prison if convicted.
