Donald Trump's historic hush money trial enters a second day, as lawyers try to select 12 New York City jurors to consider the guilt or innocence of the first former US president to face criminal charges.

In New York, five more prospective jurors were dismissed from Donald Trump's historic hush money trial, as lawyers try to choose a panel of 12 residents of heavily Democratic Manhattan to hear the Republican former US president's criminal case impartially.

"Even though I feel like I can be impartial, there might be some implicit bias surrounding that," the juror added. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, has charged Mr Trump with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 election.Mr Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies an encounter took place.

Mr Trump has pleaded not guilty in all four criminal cases and said they are a plot by Mr Biden's Democrats to neutralise him politically.
