Trump takes 'bonafide nap' as his 'dull' lawyer bores hush money jury: analyst

Raw Story  

Donald Trump took a "bonafide nap" Friday as his attorney managed to bore the jury in a criminal trial tied to the former president's alleged payment of hush money to an adult movie star, a legal analyst said from inside the courtroom. Former federal prosecutor Harry Litman reported from his front-row seat in Trump's Manhattan criminal court trial that neither the former president nor the jurors appeared titillated by attorney Emil Bove's cross-examination of ex-National Enquirer publisher David Pecker. Litman praised Bove's technique, but argued his conversation with Pecker — the tabloid executive who prosecutors contend helped Trump catch-and-kill salacious stories about alleged sexual relationships — was "inherently pretty dull." "Trump heavy-lidded, seems to be dozing off," Litman reported on X at 10:03 a.m. "Asleep for several minutes," he added at 10:19 a.m. "Again asleep, b/t his two main lawyers," Litman wrote at 10:47 a.m. "In other cases, even w/ big-shot, the lawyers would rouse their clients.
