Trial has resumed in Trump's NY election interference trial. The first issue: a juror from Tuesday has expressed concerns that her identity will become public (as friends and family have already contacted her to ask if she is a juror) and it has impacted her ability to be fair and impartial. She is excused from service.
The prosecution suggests not asking about former and current employers so as to reduce chances of jurors being publicly identified. The defense responds that the judge should instruct the media not to report on this information. Judge Merchan rules that the answers to the 2 questions about current and former employers will be redacted from the transcript and he directs the media NOT to report on this information.
