Norm Eisen claims Trump was asleep during his hush money trial while Hope Hicks was answering questions about Stormy Daniels.
Donald Trump fell asleep once again during his hush money trial, including a «critical» moment of proceedings, a legal expert has said.
Norm Eisen, who served as a special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during the former president’s first impeachment, told CNN that Trump was asleep in the New York court on Friday as his former White House aide Hope Hicks was answering questions under oath.
During her emotional testimony, which saw her crying at one point, Hicks discussed Trump’s reaction when a story detailing his alleged affairs with adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal broke. Hicks also described how Trump’s team were «concerned» about how the infamous Access Hollywood tape, where Trump is heard boasting about grabbing women «by the p***y,» would damage his 2016 election chances.
Reports from inside the courtroom have frequently claimed Trump has his eyes closed and is possibly asleep during the trial. The former president recently denied the claims, writing on Truth Social how he only closes his «beautiful blue eyes» so he can «listen intensely, and take it ALL in!!!»
Speaking to CNN, Eisen claimed that Trump fell asleep once more during his hush money trial, including during Hicks’ testimony.
