Former President Donald Trump was seen apparently "nodding off" during his hush money trial for allegedly covering up a sex scandal.
On Trump's first day in the Manhattan courtroom, reporters spotted him looking as though he was falling asleep as attorneys discussed rules for jury selection.
"It very much looks like Trump is dozing off right now," courtroom reporter Stewart Bishop observed on X.

"Tough to see the screen in the overflow room, but I swear Trump is nodding off at the defense table," reporter Erik Uebelacker agreed. "His chin just hit his chest, then his head shot back up. We've all been there."
Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records after his attorney, Michael Cohen, made hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair.
He has denied the allegations.
