The juror who dropped out had been among seven people so far selected from a pool of hundreds to sit in deliberation on Trump.
Judge Juan Merchan told the court the juror had ‘conveyed after sleeping on it overnight she had concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial’.
The woman was then brought to court and asked by Judge Merchan to explain herself.
The woman said: ‘Yesterday alone, I had friends, colleagues, and family push things to my phone, questioning my identity as a juror.
‘I don’t believe at this point I can be fair and unbiased and let the outside influence not affect my decision making in the courtroom.’
Judge Merchan said: ‘I’m sorry you went through that’ and excused her.
