The Washington Post also has live updates
Today is jury selection, so they’ll be asking a lot of potential jurors about all the ways they could be biased or have a conflict of interest.

I’d fail 33. Is it like a mega crime to lie on that questionnaire?
A question so nice they asked it twice! I’d also fail #38
And the question about bias in an election year. Isn’t that kind of the point? He committed the felonies in an effort to secure to 2016 election, so you disregard that because… He might do it again??
I’d guess maybe perjury, but I’m not a lawyer
Yeah haha that’s a tough one
More than half the jury pool said ‘no’ to that
The defendant’s ironclad case when jury nullification walks in the room
Or in this case, whatever the opposite of that is
Thanks for posting the questionnaire. I don’t think I’d pass it. I’m not sure anyone I know would pass it. I’d be tempted to answer a lot of those questions in a way the defense wouldn’t like.
I have a strong opinion and firm belief that it is a miscarriage of justice that it has taken this long for Trump to be charged in any court.
