Jurors who arrive at former President Donald Trump’s first criminal trial on April 15 will be asked a wide array of questions including if they ever supported the Proud Boys or Antifa, court records show.

The 42 questions hundreds of Trump's prospective peers in his New York City trial were revealed Monday in a court document first reported by MSNBC's Katie Phang.

Among those questions: "Have you ever considered yourself a supporter of or belonged to any of the following: the QAnon movement, Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, Three Percenters, Boogaloo Boys, [and] Antifa?"

"If so, please let us know if what you have heard or read affects your ability to be a fair and impartial juror in this case," the it reads.

Other questions target news publications or social media sites including the New York Times, Newsman, TikTok, and Trump's own Truth Social.

The questionnaire was included in a letter submitted by New York Justice Juan Merchan on Monday to defense attorneys as well as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who filed the 34-count indictment against Trump.

Bragg charged Trump with "falsifying New York business records in order to conceal damaging information and unlawful activity from American voters before and after the 2016 election."

Trump pleaded not guilty.

Bragg accuses Trump of falsifying dozens of business records to keep hidden cash paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels weeks before the 2016 presidential election.

As Bragg contends, the scheme was part of a wider effort to spike unflattering stories, including supposed relations with former Playboy model Karen McDougal.
