Trump legal spokeswoman Alina Habba recently gave an interview and provided updates.
ABC News reports that jury selection is expected to take up to two weeks.
One juror has been lost after public information about her was released. Neither party object to her deptaure. Now Bragg’s teams is examining juror number four.
From ABC News:
Attorneys are now discussing an issue with yet another juror — Juror No. 4 — after Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass said the the DA’s team did research that “possibly called into question the veracity” of the answers he gave on the jury questionnaire.
Steinglass said a person with the same name as Juror No. 4 — the Puerto Rican man who said he found Trump “fascinating and mysterious” — had been arrested in the 1990s in Westchester for “tearing down political advertisements.”
Habba said during the interview that one of the jurors has been dismissed because they admitted they couldn’t be impartial.

The spokeswoman also claimed that there were Biden Campaign Employees included in jury selection in the E. Jean Carroll case and Biden staffers could be included on the NY Criminal Trial jury because the judge removed questions asking about it.
