The former president now has a 12-person jury — and prosecutors renewed their bid to hold him in contempt.

The jurors also include an Upper East Side woman who works as a speech therapist, a retired man originally from Lebanon who enjoys fly fishing, a father of three who works as a security engineer, and a woman originally from California who works in product development. The group, which represents a cross-section of Manhattan, has been commanded by the judge, Justice Juan Merchan, that they must put their feelings about the former president aside, and all 12 of them have vowed to do so.
Prosecutors, meanwhile, accused Trump of repeatedly violating a gag order in the case — most flagrantly, they said, when he claimed on social media on Wednesday that “undercover liberal activists” were “lying” to get on the jury. The prosecutors renewed their request for Merchan to Another juror was dismissed after prosecutors said a man with the same name had been arrested in the 1990s for tearing down right-wing political posters, calling into question whether the man had been truthful in his answers during jury selection. The man also expressed “annoyance” at the amount of information published about him this week, Merchan said.
