Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

China tried to meddle but Canadians decided the last two elections, says PM Trudeau
reuters.com/world/americas/china-tried-meddle-canadians-decided-last-two-elections-says-pm-trudeau-2024-04-10/
Quick Glance: Alleged Chinese Interference in Canadian Elections: Trudeau Confirms Independence
- Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reported to an official inquiry that China attempted to intervene in the last two Canadian elections, but the outcomes were unaffected, and it was deemed 'improbable' that Beijing favored a specific party.
- Under pressure from opposition lawmakers dissatisfied with media reports on China's potential involvement in the elections, Trudeau established the commission.
- Erin O'Toole, who led the main opposition Conservative party during the 2021 campaign, estimated that Chinese interventions may have cost his party up to nine seats but did not alter the election's course. Trudeau's Liberal Party emerged victorious in both instances.
- Canada's domestic intelligence agency informed the commission of China's 'clandestine and deceptive' interference in both elections, marking the most substantial evidence thus far of suspected Chinese meddling in Canadian politics.
