"Trump's Trial Nap: Sleep Expert Analyzes Alina Habba's Response"
TL;DR
Donald Trump's lawyer Alina Habba dismissed reports that the former president fell asleep during the opening day of his criminal trial in New York, calling the claims "ridiculous." Trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money paid to Stormy Daniels. The trial, which began with jury selection, is expected to last six to eight weeks. Habba's response came after journalists, including Maggie Haberman, reported observations of Trump appearing to nod off during the proceedings.
