Foreman of jury for Donald Trump hush money trial is Irish
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.

Quick Glance: The Night Manager Returns for Two More Seasons with Tom Hiddleston
  • When the Tom Hiddleston-starring miniseries adaptation of John Le Carré’s espionage novel hit screens in early 2016, it quickly became a huge mainstream hit, thrilling viewers with its twists and enhancing Hiddleston’s cool factor.

  • After years of speculation, The Night Manager is now confirmed to return, with the show set for at least two more seasons, with Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as Jonathan Pine.

  • Season 2 is scheduled to film later this year, set eight years after the events of the first series, with Stephen Garrett returning as showrunner and screenwriter David Farr back on script duties.

  • The new seasons will be available on the BBC in the UK and Amazon as a global partner, with Le Carré’s sons, Simon and Stephen Cornwell, supporting the decision to expand Pine's story and looking forward to where the narrative will lead next.
