The jurors: who is on the Trump trial jury?

Seven men and five women have been chosen to sit on the jury in the ex-president's hush-money trial. Here's what we know

The difficult process of selecting a jury in the case against Donald Trump neared its conclusion on Thursday, with a jury of 12 people empaneled for the first criminal trial of a former president in US history.

The jury is made up of seven men and five women who live in different parts of Manhattan, including the Upper East Side, Harlem, Hell's Kitchen and the West Village. They come from a range of personal backgrounds and employment histories. Several jurors said they had no strong opinions on Trump, and a few said that they do not closely follow the news. The exact racial makeup of the jury, and the ages of the jurors, is unclear.
