A seven-page juror questionnaire was released for former President Donald Trump’s upcoming criminal trial in Manhattan over alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
The questionnaire contains 42 questions to help select an impartial jury for the April trial.
Questions ask about media consumption habits like reading the NY Times or watching Fox News.
Also new: Justice Merchan released his juror questionnaire today, along with procedures for selecting the New Yorkers who will judge the former president.

Others ask if potential jurors have ever worked for or attended rallies of Trump.
Jurors are also queried about social media use related to Trump as well as feelings about how he is being treated in the case.
Demographic questions cover employment, family status, and hobbies.
The questionnaire aims to vet potential biases as Trump had demanded a new judge, arguing the current judge’s daughter working as a Democratic consultant poses a conflict of interest.
Trump faces 34 charges of falsifying business records related to payments made by his former lawyer Michael Cohen.
