In the ongoing criminal trial in New York, former US President Donald Trump has been accused of using campaign funds to repay hush money to Stormy Daniels. Despite reports that he regularly falls asleep during the trial, Trump has denied these claims and maintains his innocence.
Trump has been dubbed “Sleepy Don” by his opponents due to his habit of dozing off in court. However, he has stated that he closes his eyes for a more attentive listening experience rather than falling asleep. The trial centers around allegations that Trump used campaign funds to cover up the payment as legal costs, which is a charge that the defense denies.
Keith Davidson, who negotiated the hush money with Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, has been defended by his lawyer for simply representing their clients without engaging in extortion. However, this claim has been met with skepticism from some quarters.
Despite facing intense scrutiny and speculation surrounding his behavior in court, Trump remains defiant and continues to proclaim his innocence on social media. With growing number of criminal charges against him, it remains to be seen what will happen next in this high-profile case.
