Trump's hush money criminal trial loses two jurors, five remain

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : A conviction would not bar Trump, the Republican presidential candidate in the Nov. 5 election, from running for or taking office.
33% : Merchan has taken steps to shield jurors in the case from harassment, saying they will remain anonymous except to Trump, his lawyers and prosecutors.
27% : Trump is one of the most controversial figures in American politics, and roughly half of the 192 potential jurors screened so far in heavily Democratic Manhattan have been dismissed after saying they could not impartially assess his guilt or innocence.
26% : Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and denies any such encounter with Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
25% : Trump says, without providing evidence, that all four criminal cases are part of a broad-ranging effort by allies of Democratic President Joe Biden to hobble his candidacy.
24% : Prosecutors say Trump has violated the gag order seven times since they flagged three potential violations on Monday, and have asked Merchan to impose fines or other penalties.
23% : He has also imposed a partial gag order on Trump, who has criticized him, witnesses, and prosecutors and their relatives.
16% : Officials in some of those cases have reported receiving death threats and harassment after being criticized by Trump.
