Trump's Lawyer Had to Wake Him Up [View all]

Politico: “For several minutes, Trump appeared to be sleeping in his seat as Todd Blanche continued to conduct his cross-examination of Cohen. Trump was motionless, his head hanging down.”

“His lawyer Susan Necheles, who sat two seats away from him with an empty seat between them, appeared to attempt — unsuccessfully — to get his attention. Failing to do so, she moved into the empty seat between them, at which point Trump appeared to awaken.”
