The judge overseeing the trial of Roger Stone rejected a request from the Trump confidant’s defense lawyers Tuesday to remove a potential juror whose husband works on the Justice Department unit involved in the Russia investigation and who admitted to having negative views of President Donald Trump, according to reports.
At the beginning of jury selection, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, said that she would not remove potential jurors solely on the basis that they work for the federal government or because of their views of Trump.
That position was tested at the very start of jury selection at Stone’s trial, which recessed early after the longtime political operative fell ill.

According to polls, if you remove people who disapprove of the President, you toss out over 50% of the jury pool.
