Judge Okays Jury Questionnaire In Trump/Docs Case

The Messenger reports:

A federal judge on Friday approved Special Jack Smith’s request to start prepping written jury questionnaires ahead of next year’s scheduled trial of Donald Trump in the Florida classified documents case.

The brief written order hands a small victory to Smith, who cited the high-profile nature of the case in a Tuesday filing proposing initial steps in the jury selection process.
