Read: Judge releases jury questionnaire in Trump hush money trial

• Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree in the case, which stems from a 2016 payment he's accused of making to adult film actor Stormy Daniels.

Zoom in: Merchan rejected arguments from Trump's legal team that potential jurors should be asked whether they like the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

• "Such questions are irrelevant because they do not go to the issue of the prospective juror's qualifications," Merchan wrote, according to the letter to prosecutors and the defense.
• However, potential jurors will be asked whether they have any feelings or opinions about how Trump is being treated in the case, brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and about the media they read or watch.
• Other questions include whether a prospective juror is a member of an extremist movement such as QAnon or the Proud Boys.
