A full 12-person jury has been sworn in for ex-US President Donald Trump’s historic criminal trial in New York City.

“We have our jury,” Justice Juan Merchan declared after seven men and five women were selected for the panel. Two jurors had to be excused earlier.

Some thought jury selection might take weeks, but things moved quickly after Mr Trump’s team ran out of challenges.

The court could hear opening arguments as soon as Monday.

The trial, the first ever in which a former US president is the defendant, stems from a hush-money payment to a porn star.

    I mean, you really don’t need the names, if you can narrow it down to say, every 34 year old black woman working at theaters in Detroit that’s that’s maybe 20 people tops and likely closer to 5. You could easily harass 5-20 locals on your own and MAGA likes it’s flock mentality. If they’re MAGA they’ll just join in, if they’re not they’re dangerous antifa terrorists and it’s god trumps divine order to ruin their lives.
