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.

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.
