As reported by Jim Hoft, Fox News host Jesse Watters had previously unveiled the identities of seven jurors chosen for the trial involving President Trump and adult film actress Stormy Daniels. However, two of these jurors were later dismissed after Judge Juan Merchan, who has been criticized for his left-leaning views, agreed that they could not maintain impartiality towards Trump.
Despite these dismissals, the jury pool remains predominantly left-leaning, even including a woman who has publicly labeled Trump as "very selfish" and "self-serving." Hoft further notes that Judge Merchan's daughter is a prominent activist for the Democratic party and the Joe Biden campaign. Critics argue that Merchan is pursuing charges against Trump that do not constitute a crime, and that he is seeking jurors who share his belief that Trump is guilty simply because he is still alive.
