The judge in former President Donald Trump’s historic criminal trial in Manhattan scolded the press on Thursday for reporting information that could potentially identify jurors assembled for the high-profile case. New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the trial, told news outlets to watch how they report on the jurors and forbade the press from reporting where jurors are employed. The ruling came after one juror was dismissed from the trial after expressing concerns that portions of her identity had been made public by the news media. The juror told the judge she had concerns that she could not be impartial after those close to her asked if she was a juror on the case. “I’m directing that the press simply apply common sense and refrain from writing about anything that has to do with physical descriptions, it’s just not necessary, it serves no purpose,” the judge said, according to pool report from the courtroom. Concerns about the safety of prospective jurors are paramount in the first ever criminal trial of a former president amid a hyper-politicized atmosphere in the run up to the 2024 election. “We just lost what probably would’ve been a very good juror,” Merchan added. “The first thing she said was she was afraid and intimidating by the press.”
