“A jury of five women and seven men in Donald Trump’s hush-money trial is expected to begin this week the historic task of deciding whether to convict a former president, a verdict that could set the tone for an election year that has already turned off many voters,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, so far has emerged largely unscathed from his trial on 34 felony charges. But a conviction would be an ignominious first for a former president, threatening Trump’s standing with some voters and handing President Biden new ammunition to portray his rival as unfit for office.”
“An acquittal—or even a hung jury—could be a career-defining moment for Trump, who likely would cast himself as having vanquished an improper political prosecution.”
