"The first trial against former President Trump is now underway and it looks like it might take a while.
At least 50 potential jurors were dismissed today, the first day of jury selection, because they said they could not be impartial, per pool reports. It could take several days just to find 12 jurors.
Judge Juan Merchan declined to recuse himself from the trial today, and he rejected another effort by former President Trump's legal team to delay the proceedings.
Merchan scheduled a hearing for next week on prosecutors' claims that Trump violated the gag order in the case.
Trump "appeared to nod off a few times" during the proceedings, the NYT's Maggie Haberman reports."
