  • Potential jurors in the criminal tax-fraud trial of Donald Trump's business are being questioned on Tuesday.
  • Here is the questionnaire that New Yorkers summoned for jury duty in the high-profile case have to answer.

Prospective jurors in the New York criminal tax-fraud trial of Donald Trump's real-estate and golf-resort empire are being questioned on Tuesday by lawyers from each side.

Prosecutors and defense lawyers are using a questionnaire made up of 32 questions, including ones about what the potential jurors do for a living, whether they watch the news, and if they have "strong opinions" or "firmly held beliefs" about Trump, the former president.

The jury that is ultimately chosen in the trial will determine if the Trump Organization defrauded tax authorities by allegedly paying executives some of their compensation off the books in the form of untaxed perks like free apartments and cars.

The Trump Organization, which is made up of some 500 business entities, has pleaded not guilty.

Trump himself is not charged in the case, which is playing out in New York Supreme Court.
