Jury selection for Sarah Palin’s defamation lawsuit against the New York Times will begin this month, a federal court said this week.

Palin sued the paper over a 2017 editorial that linked a map Palin’s political action committee circulated to the shooting of former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) and to the shooting of members of Congress on a baseball field in Virginia.
