Former President Donald Trump has denied falling asleep during court proceedings, stating that he occasionally closes his eyes to listen more intently. Trump addressed the accusations of him falling asleep as 'FAKE NEWS MEDIA' on his Truth Social account, emphasizing that he remains attentive during the trial.
Throughout the trial, Trump has been observed closing his eyes and leaning back, sparking speculation about his level of engagement. His attorney, Susan Necheles, presented a collection of newspaper articles to the judge, arguing that Trump intended to share them on his social media platform. Necheles contended that there was ambiguity in the gag order, suggesting that the posts were permissible.
