As Donald Trump's Manhattan hush money trial pushed forth,
the former president once again struggled to keep his eyes
open as the trial is now entered into its third
week.
Now according to reporters who were present in the courtroom,
Trump sat for some significant portions of the witness testimony
with his eyes shot.
The NBC News reporter also said that 77 year old
appeared to stir before dozing off again and at times
jerked his head in a way that is consistent with
sleeping.
Yesterday, the court had found the former U.S.
President 9000 U.S. dollars for violating his gag order in
the hush money case.
The order prohibits Donald Trump from publicly commenting on potential
witnesses,
jurors, attorneys and court staff.
The New York judge Juan Merkin is arguing the ruling
that Trump had violated the order beyond reasonable doubt and
fined the 2024 GOP presidential candidate $1000 for 9 violations
stemming from polls that he had made on his social
media platform through social.
While Trump is repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has blasted
the case itself as quote UN quote,
a witch hunt is also scored a bit of a
small victory with the dots saying that he will allow
him to skip proceedings on the 17th of May to
attend to his youngest son.
Barnes High School graduation.
The trumpet previously argued that the judge had profited him
from attending the ceremony after he made his initial request.
However, the New York judge did not immediately grant Trump's
request,
and neither did he reject it.
The judge argued that the request depended on the status
of the trial.
