'Juror number 2' dismissed from Trump trial after fears she was being identified

A juror who was one of seven so far picked to sit on Donald Trump's hush money trial was excused Thursday after voicing concerns her identity was being revealed.

In a series of posts to X this Thursday, CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen, who was in the courtroom Thursday, reported that the juror, who was one of those chosen on Tuesday, had "concerns about her ability to be fair."

"She’s concerned that her identity is being revealed," Eisen wrote of the woman, who was identified only as "juror number two" because the judge ruled names would be kept under wraps.

He added, "Content was being pushed to her phone by friends & family."

Judge Juan Merchan made the announcement after discussing with lawyers for both sides.

It had taken two days of jury selection to find the seven jurors picked so far. The jury is scheduled to be seated by Monday.

The trial needs 12 jurors and six alternates.
