Courtroom sketches of the former president have changed over time, depending on which artist draws the image.
Courtroom sketches of Donald Trump have captured attention as the former president appeared in a New York City courtroom this week for the start of his hush money trial.
The jury selection process in the criminal trial began on Monday. The case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg concerns a payment to former adult film star Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 election. Trump has denied her allegation that they had an affair and pleaded not guilty to all 34 charges of falsifying business records in connection with the payment. He also has accused Bragg of political persecution.
Several courtroom sketches provide an inside look at the proceedings, as no cameras are permitted. Sketches of Trump have drawn attention over the past several months as he has appeared in courtrooms for multiple cases against him.
Courtroom sketches of Trump have changed over time, depending on which artist draws the image. The drawings have generated jokes and memes directed at the former president, who is the presumptive GOP nominee for president. They also have led to criticism of the artists from Trump staff and supporters.
Newsweek reached out to Trump’s campaign by email for comment.
