A potential juror who was dismissed from Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York was caught off guard by the former president’s complexion in court on Thursday.
The juror, identified by her first name Kat, told MSNBC that Trump looks “less orange” and “more yellowish” up close.
“He looked less orange, definitely like more yellowish. Like yellow. Nothing else than that. He doesn’t look angry. I think he looks bored like he wants this to finish and go do his stuff” Kat told MSNBC’s Yasmin Vossoughian when asked what was her impression of the former president.
Trump’s criminal trial in New York is on day 3 and jury selection continues.
Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records to make hush money payments to adult film Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.
Kat said she was dismissed by Judge Juan Merchan because she told him that she could not be impartial if she served on the jury in the case.
The jury selection process faced some setbacks on Thursday after two seated jurors were dismissed from the case.
One of the jurors after expressed doubt about her ability to be fair and impartial and the other was concerned that some of his answers in court may not have been accurate.
