New York Judge Juan Merchan said he would not order prosecutors to disclose a witness list to the defense team in light of former President Donald Trump's attacks on figures connected to his hush-money case.

At the conclusion of the third day of jury selection in Trump's first criminal trial, defense attorney Todd Blanche asked the prosecution which witnesses would be called first.

A full jury has been selected for former President Donald Trump's trial for allegedly covering up a sex scandal.

New York Justice Juan Merchan seated the 12-member jury Thursday afternoon after having to dismiss two of the jurors earlier in the day.

Donald Trump has been forced to spend three days in court, listening to multiple Americans describe what they don't like about him — and he doesn't seem happy.

On day three of jury selection in the New York hush money trial, the pool of prospective jurors got specific about their issues with Trump.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said that she supports deporting rapists even though she backs Donald Trump, an accused rapist who was found liable of sexual abuse, in the 2024 presidential election.

During a Thursday interview with Newsmax, Mace was asked about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) threat to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who has endorsed the South Carolina lawmaker.

In the midst of the third day of jury selection in Donald Trump's so-called "hush money" trial, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance cautioned the former president to dial it back as his legal team and prosecutors working for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg attempt to move the proceedings forward.

With Trump already butting heads with Judge Juan Merchan, which has led to the scheduling of a hearing next Tuesday over accusations the former president has already committed multiple violations of a gag order the judge imposed to protect potential witnesses and jurors, Vance told MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell that the former president is testing his boundaries with the judge — and he may be in line for a valuable lesson after also making references to possible jury members.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) did not contain her anger at Republicans Thursday over delays in funding aid to Ukraine.

At a House Rules Committee hearing on three foreign aid packages for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, DeLauro was asked to comment on Republicans complaining about border security even though they killed a bill that would have helped stem undocumented immigration.

A potential juror who confessed she couldn't be impartial left Donald Trump's trial at the New York courthouse on Thursday and spoke to MSNBC about what it was like seeing the former president in person.

"You know, he looked less orange, definitely, like, more yellowish, like yellow," she told Yasmin Vossoughian. "He looks — he doesn't look angry or — I think he looks bored. Like, he wants this to finish. And go do his stuff."

Lara Trump downplayed the criminal charges against her father-in-law Donald Trump as a mere "bookkeeping error."

The Republican National Committee co-chair appeared Wednesday on Sean Hannity's Fox News program, where she suggested Manhattan prosecutors were engaged in election interference for trying the former president on 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up alleged hush money payments to adult movie actress Stormy Daniels, reported HuffPost.

A Florida Democrat suggested Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) needs psychiatric help after calling her out on the House floor for spreading Russian propaganda about Ukraine.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (R-FL) blasted the Georgia Republican during a debate on funding to assist Ukraine in its war against Russian invasion, saying she was parroting Vladimir Putin's conspiracy theories about Nazis and sharing his own family's history with Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, and he told CNN's Kate Bolduan that he couldn't explain Greene's behavior.

James Schultz, a former Trump White House lawyer, said that he expected Judge Juan Merchan to find that former President Donald Trump violated his gag order by promoting conspiratorial claims about jurors in his hush-money case.

Appearing on CNN Thursday, Schultz was asked about Trump promoting baseless claims leveled by a Fox News host that some jurors were "lying" about their feelings about Trump so they could sneak onto the jury and convict him no matter the evidence.
