Fraud trial of George Santos to begin next month with an anonymous jury
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — The fraud trial against former U.S. Rep.

They won’t, however, be required to fill out a written questionnaire gauging their opinions of Santos when they arrive for jury selection Sept. 9, as his lawyers had requested.

She said questioning each potential juror in person would allow her and both sides to ask more varied and probing questions to elicit more truthful responses.
