Trump Organization's Tax-Fraud Trial Sees Jurors Excused by the Dozen

Jury selection in the tax fraud case against the Trump Organization saw prospective jurors excused by the dozen after the judge read out a list of people who might be called as witnesses or simply be mentioned during the trial.

Donald Trump, his older sons and his daughter Ivanka are among those who may be called to testify or whose names may come up at the trial, in which prosecutors will try to show that the family firm routinely understated its tax exposure by paying senior executives with perks like company cars and rent-free apartments. Trump has described the prosecution, by the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as “the greatest witch hunt in American history.”
