Donald Trump is in court for day three of his historic Manhattan hush money trial.
The court is questioning hundreds of prospective jurors to try and fill the final spots on the panel of 12.
The court also needs six alternatives who need to be ready as early as Monday for opening statements.
The former president has denied 34 charges of falsifying business records to hide a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels to cover up an affair he has denied. Twelve Manhattan residents have been chosen to decide the fate of Donald Trump in his historic hush money trial.
Seven men and five women—including a corporate lawyer and a woman who called the ex-president 'selfish'—will ultimately determine if Trump is guilty or not guilty of hiding a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about their her alleged affair.
The brutal selection process which included extensive questioning and research into their backgrounds took three days to complete.
Each chosen member answered 'yes' when asked if they could be impartial and fair in the trial of the first former president in history.
Their identities will remain a secret unless they decide to come forward when the case is complete.
One prospective already dropped out, concerned for her privacy after her family and friends started asking if she was seated on the Trump trial.
But now the panel is full, and the court will come in on Friday to choose the six alternates to take their place should one of them have to be excused. Trump lashed out at his 'very unfair' criminal trial as the 12-person jury was finally selected Thursday.
'I'm supposed to be in New Hampshire, I'm supposed to be in Georgia, I'm supposed to be in North Carolina, South Carolina,' Trump lamented to reporters upon leaving the courtroom.
'I'm supposed to be in a lot of different places campaigning, but I've been here all day on a trial that really is a very unfair trial.'
Trump held up a stack of papers that he said were media reports showing that legal experts are calling the case against him 'ridiculous.'
He also complained about the cold temperature of the courtroom.
'I'm sitting here for days now, from morning until night, in that freezing room, freezing. Everybody was freezing in there.'
