Trump Appears Drowsy During Hush Money Trial in New York

During the early stages of his hush money trial in New York, former President Donald Trump appeared to doze off, as reported by New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman.

The trial, starting with jury selection, is anticipated to last several weeks.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has charged Trump over a $130,000 payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair.

Records suggest Trump reimbursed his lawyer, Michael Cohen, in misleading installments. Trump has taken an unusual approach by wanting to join sidebar conversations directly. Haberman observed Trump’s occasional sleepiness during the proceedings, contrasting it with his more engaged demeanor in previous trials.
