The challenge to secure jurors for Donald Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan bumbled further on Thursday morning after two jurors were excused—one after prosecutors questioned their truthfulness and another, an oncology nurse, who expressed concerns that the media had effectively outed her.
The latter dismissal follows several media reports that featured biographical information about selected jurors.

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