The criminal hush money trial against Donald Trump inched forward with jury selection on Tuesday after seven people were impaneled to serve as jurors in the case against the former president.

New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan said he would ask the seven jurors selected to return on Monday, noting at the end of the day that the jury selection process could conclude by the end of the week. Seating seven jurors completes just over a third the selection process, which began Monday.
