Most don’t think Trump acted illegally in hush money case: Poll
Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
  • A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

  • The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

  • Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

  • The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Franklin: An Entertaining Historical Series
  • Benjamin Franklin (Michael Douglas) embarks on a secret mission to France to garner support in the war for independence against the English.

  • The series, with Michael Douglas in the title role, offers an enjoyable portrayal of America's Founding Fathers, although the plot switches between English and subtitled French.

  • The interplay of intrigue, deception, and diplomatic negotiations as Franklin tries to secure French support is a central focus of the storyline.

  • Michael Douglas shines with his magnetic personality as Franklin in this pleasurable yet not entirely gripping series about the events leading to the birth of a nation.
