Trump trial live updates: Trump reprimanded for muttering at potential juror

Court is back again after that quick break.

So far we have seen Joshua Steinglass of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office ask the 18 potential jurors in the jury box whether they can judge the case fairly.

One by one, the panel pass a microphone back and forth to answer Steinglass’ questions.

Sometimes, he calls on specific jurors, perhaps ones who offered answers to their questionnaires that he feels need further probing. Other times, he offers them the chance to speak up.

Does anyone have strong feelings about Trump that they can’t set aside during the trial? Can they decide the verdict based solely on the facts, evidence and the judge’s instructions?

He notes that several witnesses in this case might have “baggage” – including Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer, and Stormy Daniels, an adult film star.

“Will you keep an open mind… before you decide whether or not to believe them?” he asks.

Several potential jurors says they won’t have any trouble. One even emphasises that she doesn’t even “really know what exactly this case is about”.
