Here's what you missed on Day 3 of Trump's hush money trial in New York
The former president perked up at certain remarks by members of the jury pool, while at other times he appeared ambivalent and staring straight ahead.
Jury selection in Donald Trump’s hush money trial Thursday revealed there are certain topics that are likely to capture the former president's attention: Miami, real estate and media.
When one New Yorker talked about his decades in law enforcement, Trump raised his eyebrows. The juror, who said he holds Yankees season tickets, added that he reads the New York Post and Daily News. It was as if Trump, who moments earlier let out a yawn, was seized by an electrical current.
Later, Trump straightened his back and cocked his chin as a young lawyer, born and raised in Miami, began running through her answers to the jury questionnaire. Asked whether she had been the victim of a crime, the woman said her phone was stolen from her in Paris, and she noted that her family’s car was “incidentally burned in an arson in Italy.”
Any reprieve Trump may have hoped for from the woman soon fell away as she talked about reading The Washington Post, a newspaper he has railed against. She said that while she harbors “opinions” about Trump, she is “very comfortable that I can put those aside.” The woman described watching Fox News occasionally “just to try to see what’s going on all sides.”
Trump crossed his arms and glared at the space in front of him.
