Trump lawyers are taking shifts to keep him awake in courtroom: legal analysts

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers have a new way to keep their sleepy client awake in court, according a legal analyst sitting in on the trial.

" Trump walks in every day with a big stack of papers that appear to be news articles carefully culled for his own reading," MSNBC analyst Lisa Rubin said Friday. "Reading his good press is keeping him at least more energized."

The other tactic has Trump's lawyers playing musical chairs in the courtroom, Rubin said.

"He is always accompanied by one of his lawyers directly adjacent to him now when they go to these long and extensive sidebars," Rubin said.

"The strategy is twofold. One, to make sure he always has company and doesn't seem sort of diminished by his solitariness, and the second goal is to keep him awake."

"They actually shuffle over to make sure there's someone sitting next to him," added journalist Susanne Craig.

MSNBC Chris Jansing appeared baffled by Rubin's report and interrupted to clarify.

"I just want to clarify that point," Jansing said. "A lawyer will actually change seats to be sitting next to Donald Trump when the others may have gone up to the bench?"

Rubin's answer was a resounding yes.

"That's absolutely true," she said.
