Trump Trial Jurors Asked if They Watch Newsmax, Other Media

Potential jurors in former President Donald Trump's upcoming trial in New York City on charges of falsifying business records can't be asked about their political party, history of voting, or past political contributions, but can be queried on their media-watching habits, under rules set by Judge Juan Merchan.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 first-degree counts of falsifying business records in connection with money paid to former adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. His trial is scheduled to start in Manhattan on April 15. He also said that jurors are not asked in the questionnaire about their party registration, "though the answer to that question may easily be gleaned from the response to the other questions."Meanwhile, last week, Trump's legal team filed a motion for Merchan to be recused from the case after he expanded a gag order on April 1 to stop Trump from making statements about his family.
