NEW YORK — Two jurors in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial were dismissed Thursday, one after expressing doubt about her ability to be fair and impartial and the other over concerns that some of his answers in court may not have been accurate. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The dismissals reduced to five the number of jurors who have been seated for the first-ever criminal trial of a former president.

The jury selection process picked up momentum Tuesday with the selection of seven jurors.
