, but will potential jurors be able to separate the ex-president from the company that made him famous?

Not everyone called for jury duty was against Trump. One person said she"would be for President Trump because it seems to me this is a politically motivated case." She was excused. Another person previously worked in accounting for a construction firm. He said the Trump Organization"had a very bad reputation for not paying vendors." He was excused.
