DAY 2: Trump’s hush money trial continues today with jury selection. Yesterday, we saw about 50 people excuse themselves for bias reasons – without explanation.

We’ve got about 30 people left on that slate of prospective jurors and 9 have answered questionnaires.

As he walked in this morning, Trump told the cameras:

'I was paying a lawyer and marked it down as a legal expense ... That's exactly what it was.'

He's making a habit of not responding to questions from reporters and saying whatever is on his mind, per pool reports.

Now: Trump's head slowly dropped, his eyes closed. It jerked back upward. He adjusts himself. Then, his head droops again. He straightens up, leaning back. His head doops for a third time, he shakes his shoulders. Eyes closed still. His head drops. Finally, he pops his eyes open.
