Jurors' Identities To Remain Anonymous In Trump Trial

Former U.S. President Donald Trump attends the Trump Organization civil fraud trial, in New York

The identities of the jurors in the trial will remain anonymous, as confirmed by Judge Juan Merchan. However, the attorneys on both sides will have access to their names. During the proceedings, Trump attorney Todd Blanche raised a question regarding how attorneys will obtain the names of the jury pool. In response, Judge Merchan explained that he will provide them with copies of jury lists containing only numbers, along with a single copy that includes both names and numbers. Additionally, the judge emphasized that jurors are not to be photographed during the trial.

Judge Merchan acknowledged that the process is still being refined, stating, 'We're all working this out' and 'figuring this out as we go.' This indicates that the logistics of managing the jury pool and ensuring a fair trial are being actively addressed by the court and legal teams involved.
