Trump is "the elephant not in the room" for potential jurors in his company's criminal trial

Donald Trump isn't a defendant in the Trump Organization's New York state criminal fraud trial, but will potential jurors be able to separate the ex-president from the company that made him famous? 

That's the key question they're being asked, as prosecutors and lawyers for the company try to select an impartial panel. In Manhattan, where Trump and his company have made headlines for decades — and more than 86% of voters in 2020 cast their ballots against him — not everyone can make that promise.

"I have total disdain for anything to do with Trump. Sorry," one potential juror said Monday. He was excused.
