Multiple instances have been reported of Donald Trump falling asleep in court — or possibly "resting his eyes," as MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell put it on Tuesday.

While it's understandable that the minutia of a courtroom can be dull, jury consultant David Henderson said that his sleepiness could really affect the individuals who will decide Trump's fate.

Donald Trump appeared in court for a second day of jury selection Tuesday and, once again, appeared to doze off in the morning session.

Several reporters had made the same observation Monday, with one noticing a jolt after his head slumped down slack-jawed, and another saying his chin hit his chest.

After an unexplained absence Monday, Justice Clarence Thomas was back at the Supreme Court on Tuesday where he was overseeing a case involving the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

His place on the bench has caused outrage from many who says he should recuse himself from all Jan. 6 cases, largely because his wife Ginni was with Donald Trump and other VIPs in a tent near the stage from which Trump addressed the crowd on that day and encouraged them to march to the Capitol.

The co-hosts of "The View" came out on stage to the Wham! song "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" as part of ridiculing Donald Trump, who reportedly fell asleep in court for a second day on Tuesday.

When the panel began to discuss the first day of the Trump trial jury selection, former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin said that she's never witnessed Trump doze off in a meeting before — but it wouldn't shock her.

Republican strategist Sarah Chamberlain, of the RepublicanMain Street Partnership, thinks that the people in the courtroom who witnessed Donald Trump falling asleep are mistaken.

Chamberlain made the comment to MSNBC on Tuesday morning, moments after Law360 reporter Frank Runyon revealed he saw Trump fall asleep during his hush money trial for a second day in a row.

Former President Donald Trump's publicly traded media company hit new stock market lows Monday as finance experts warned a recently reported financial could signal the beginning of the end.

Forbes Senior Editor Dan Alexander appeared on CNN's "Out Front" hours after news broke Trump Media would put more than 20 million shares up for sale because, as host Erin Burnett put it, "the company's bleeding money."

Former President Donald Trump's key defense in his hush money trial, now underway in Manhattan, is likely to present a major problem as the case unfolds, a legal analyst revealed Monday.

Former prosecutor Maya Wiley appeared on MSNBC to explain the pitfall Trump may stumble into as he tries to discredit Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's star witness, Michael Cohen.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham raised eyebrows Monday with a thorough analysis of former President Donald Trump's relationship with Stormy Daniels, the adult film star at the heart of his criminal hush money trial.

Ingraham addressed viewers hours after Trump appeared in Manhattan criminal court for the first tumultuous day of his falsifying-business-records trial, in which District Attorney Alvin Bragg contends the former president covered up payments paid to Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Former President Donald Trump erupted on Truth Social Monday after the judge in his hush money trial refused to immediately approve his demand to skip court one day in May.

Judge Juan Merchan told Trump Monday he needed to see where the trial stood before he allowed the former president to miss proceedings to attend his youngest son Barron's graduation ceremony.

MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin revealed Monday one major reason Donald Trump's lawyers are fighting so hard to keep certain tweets he sent as president out of his criminal hush money trial.

Rubin stood outside the Manhattan court where Trump stands accused of covering up money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels through his then-attorney, Michael Cohen. She discussed one of many legal battles the former president will face in the weeks ahead.

The rudiments of courtroom proceedings in former President Donald Trump's criminal trial spurred a MAGA meltdown Monday.

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump both took to social media to condemn New York City Judge Juan Merchan for reminding his father that New York law mandates he appear in court every day of the trial.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's request that a jury's verdict that he defamed election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman be thrown out was rejected Monday.

Just Security's Adam Klasfeld posted about the failure of his motion, stating that Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the "massive" judgment still stands.
