Former President Donald Trump's hush money case will go to trial in Manhattan on Monday.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that Trump helped falsify business records to cover up payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claims that she had sex with the former president.

Prosecutors say that Trump concealed his reimbursement of the payments by his one-time ally and lawyer Michael Cohen and committed 34 felonies in the process while trying to keep Daniels out of the public eye ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

The former president has pleaded not guilty and has repeatedly denied having an affair.

The first step in the historic criminal trial — the first ever of a former president — will be selecting a jury. The selection could take days.

Here is what goes into the process:

Where do the jurors come from?

Potential jurors are randomly selected from lists of registered voters, holders of driver's licenses or IDs issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles, New York State income tax filers, recipients of unemployment insurance or family assistance, and from volunteers. All of the potential jurors will be Manhattan residents.

The pool of potential jurors is chosen at random.

How will Trump's jury be selected?

Judge Juan M. Merchan will bring a large group of potential jurors into the courtroom and then briefly outline the case, according to the Associated Press.  He will then be asked if they will be able to serve and be impartial. Any who indicate they cannot be fair will be dismissed.

Those who remain will be called in groups into the jury box, where they will be asked a set of questions.

Some of those questions are expected to include:

"Have you ever attended a rally or campaign event for Donald Trump?" and "Have you, a relative, or a close friend ever worked or volunteered for any anti-Trump group or organization?"

Depending on the answers, lawyers can argue that a particular juror should be excluded for a reason, but the final determination will be up to the judge. In addition, lawyers for both sides will be able to reject a limited number of potential jurors without giving a reason. 

The jury will end up with 12 jurors, and six alternates who will attend the trial but will only take part in the jury if another juror is dismissed during the trial.

The judge has ordered that the jurors' names be kept secret because of concerns they may be harassed or threatened.

How much do Trump jurors earn?

The jury fee is $40 per day. If service extends beyond 30 days the court may authorize an additional $6 per day per juror.
