Trump Trial Circus New Book Cover Voir Dire From Inside Courtroom Under Restrictions


New Book

100 CENTRE ST COURT, April 21 - In the Trump trial the weekend after the four days of jury selection, a book was published of what was said, and more: "Trump Trial Circus, Voir Dire," by Matthew Russell Lee, e-book on Amazon here.  

   It begins: "The first day of the first Trump criminal trial had TV trucks lined up along Centre Street and journalists in two lines waiting to get in.

  Beyond them a woman screamed, You all are the criminals!

  In the public line, one man said he was on vacation and came to see. By week's end, there would be a man setting himself on fire here. 

   Upstairs Justice Juan Merchan began with rulings, most of them against Trump, including on Todd Blanche's motion that Merchan recuse himself because his daughter is a paid campaign consultant to, among others, Adam Schiff.

  Justice Merchan said it was irrelevant; motion denied. When finally prospective jurors were brought in, their names were not given. But the 11 prospects who answered the questionnaire gave identifying details. Justice Merchan admonished the Press not to report them. And so it began.
