Donald Trump will make history Monday as the first former president to stand trial on criminal charges, a watershed moment for American politics, the presidential election and Trump himself. Trump — the presumptive Republican nominee for president — is required to be present for the entire trial, which could last as long as eight weeks. He’s pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records, a low-level felony punishable by up to four years in prison.
The DA’s office countered in a court filing that “given the sheer size of New York County, it is absurd for to assert that it will be impossible or even impractical to find a dozen fair and impartial jurors, plus alternates, among more than a million people.” The jury selection process is expected to take one to two weeks.
