Former President Donald Trump was back in the courtroom for the "hush money" trial in New York City, and two of the seven jurors already seated in the case were dismissed earlier Thursday. One of the dismissed jurors expressed doubt about her ability to be fair and impartial, and the other faced concerns about the accuracy of some of his responses. While Trump was in court, President Biden hit the campaign trail Thursday in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

 Two people who were selected to serve on the jury in former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York were excused on Thursday, including one woman who expressed concerns about being identified publicly and her ability to remain impartial. The number of seated jurors now stands at five on the third day of proceedings. Juror #2, a young woman who was chosen to serve on Tuesday, said she "definitely has concerns now" about serving after friends and family asked her if she was a juror, based on media reports. "Aspects of my identity have already been out there in public. Yesterday alone, I had friends and family push things to me," she told the court on Thursday. "I don't think at this point that I can be fair and unbiased." Read more from Graham Kates, Katrina Kaufman and Stefan Becket.

Kennedy, who "stood for equal justice, human rights and freedom from want and fear -- just as President Biden does today." Her father served as attorney general in John F.
