NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump will be allowed to know the names of jurors at his upcoming New York hush-money criminal trial. The public will not.
Manhattan Judge Juan Manuel Merchan ruled Thursday to keep the yet-to-be-picked jury anonymous, with limited exceptions for the former president, his defense lawyers, prosecutors, jury consultants and legal staffs.
Only Trump's lawyers and prosecutors will be allowed to know the addresses of the jurors' homes and workplaces, Merchan said. Trump could risk forfeiting access to the names if he were to disclose them publicly.
Jury selection is slated to begin March 25.
