MacCallum: There’s two reports of Trump falling asleep in court

Habba: I’ve heard that report. It’s unlikely. I sat in trial after trial with him, that never happens. He’s incredibly focused pic.twitter.com/75Jd8KOoFF

But if he is asleep:

If anything he's probably brutally bored," Habba said. "It's painful. They make him sit there through jury selection, the first day was procedural."

Later that same day:

Habba then appeared on Newsmax hours later to field similar questions and admitted she hadn't been in the courtroom, but found the account — from New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman — a "remarkable story at best." "He reads a lot," Habba said. Habba, who defended Trump in two New York civil cases last year, once again argued that court proceedings are dull. "He's been sitting there as he's forced to, at the threat of going to jail if he's not sitting there, for what I assume would be a very mundane day," Habba said. "They are going through jury selection there were a tremendous amount of motions being heard yesterday."

So how about this account?

Must’ve been sleeping a while.

Or the other accounts today? Just another conspiracy? Or a failure to appreciate how bored Trump is with the rest of us. It’s like he’s an arrogant super-villain, and Habba is his minion.
