You can't bet on the highly anticipated hush money trial involving former US president and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump at FanDuel but one of its employees is part of the prospective juror pool, we are learning.
Lisa Rubin of MSNBC tweeted out:
"NEW: We’re done with day 1 of Trump’s first criminal trial, and while we’ve got a ways to go, the prospective jurors include a “bookseller,” an oncology nurse, an assistant Bronx County DA, and a woman from Fanduel, the sports betting site."

This represents the first criminal trial of any US President and the first of Trump’s four indictments to go to trial.
There Will Be Betting on This Trial, Just Not at FanDuel
Well ahead of the actual trial, BetOnline does have betting odds on the Hush Money trial involving Trump and former adult film star Stormy Daniels.
These include the following:
- Number of guilty counts: Under 5 pays $15 for every $10 bet, Between 5 to 24 pays $17.50 for every $10 bet.

The former president faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford. Each count carries a maximum sentence of four years.
