you. so you get what you get. anderson and norm, listen, if the script was flipped in this case, right? if that juror that you just read had those same feelings about joe biden? joe biden was i m trial. right? the other side would be losing their minds right. about getting fair and having a fair and balanced trial. look, this is a very important case. i think we should we should they should moved the venue. they should have struck the judge. if you want if you want to have a serious case about this or you can just have a kangaroo court that s what s going to play out. and and that s how it s gonna be perceived by americans. norm as we mentioned, the foreign president s request for a stay of the trial pending a venue change was denied by a state appeals judge. today, trump s attorney argued that seeding a jury this quickly in this climate was so many prospective jurors being dismissed over bias or self acknowledged bias or should point out was untenable does that logic makes sense or
he seemed selfish and self-serving, those she did tell the judge she could put all that aside and be fair. should the judge, however, accused her for cause i don t think so. anderson, this was one of the most searching scrutinise of each of these jurors that you could have asked for the judges scrupulously fair at times, i thought he was too fair to donald trump. and he asked these jurors over 40 questions. they were examined re-examined by the parties look, donald trump is a very well-known and very polarizing figure. but americans take it very seriously when they promised to be fair and independent. and i have seen juries over my decades of practicing law set aside that stuff that happens outside the courtroom. we also saw a huge number of jurors who said they couldn t be fair over half of each of the two panels that

statements in the first trump criminal trial are now set for monday historic for what are by now familiar, but still astonishing reasons. a former president facing felony charges for the first time ever harrowing in that a deeply troubled man used the occasion as set himself on fire outside the courthouse tonight. all 18 jurors and alternates had been chosen. an appeals court judge declined to pause the trial for defense motion to change the venue. the former president who yesterday complained the trial was keeping him off the campaign trail, complained today that it s moving too fast. we just had another hearing and the trials tax or monday, which is long before a lot of people thought the judge wants it s good to go as fast as possible. let s history s himself for my reasons are what he says. it now appears all systems are go to trial will begin monday. we re now from cnn s kara scannell. so what happened in today s proceedings? so anderson as he proceeded through jury selection,
