Trump Had 'Different Devices' To Keep Him Awake. You Can Guess What Happened.
HuffPost
The former president's attorneys are trying to stop him from dozing off during the trial.
Donald Trump fell asleep in court again on Tuesday despite a new push by his attorneys to keep him awake, according to a reporter on the scene.
MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin, who has been in the courtroom with Trump during his trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case, was pretty direct when asked for her observations on the former president.
“Sleeping. Again,” she told the network’s Chris Jansing, adding that attorneys have “tried a number of different devices” to keep him awake amid reports he continues to nod off in court.
“When there are sidebars, an attorney doesn’t leave his side anymore because leaving him alone means leaving him to potentially sleep,” she said. “He has a stack of papers with him at all times now to go through.”
But they don’t seem to be working for Trump, who has reportedly dozed off multiple times as the trial progresses.
