Dozens were dismissed after saying they could not be fair, underscoring the towering task of trying a former president in a city where he is deeply unpopular.
The lawyers reached the heart of the selection process early in the afternoon, when they began bringing individual people from the jury pool back into the courtroom to question them alone as they debated who should be dismissed.
The pool of possible jurors came from an initial group of 96, more than half of whom were dismissed immediately on Monday after indicating that they could not fairly reach a decision.
Another claimed to have recognized an unconscious bias against the former president.
