Trump Organization fraud prosecutor: 'If we booted every juror for disliking Trump we'd have no jurors'

Speaking to New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Manuel Merchan on the third day of jury selection in the Trump Organization tax fraud trial this Thursday, prosecutor Susan Hoffinger said people's dislike for former President Donald Trump is pretty much ubiquitous, Business Insider reports.

"This is not about Donald Trump," but about his business, said Hoffinger.

Hoffinger was responding to attorneys for the Trump Organization, who want to boot a juror who referred to Trump as "narcissistic."
