Second Empaneled Juror Dismissed From Trump’s Case

Raw Story reports:

A juror seated in Donald Trump’s criminal hush-money trial was the second to be dismissed on Thursday. As jurors returned to the courtroom for the third day of trial, one woman said she had “concerns about her ability to be fair.”
