FILE - Former President Donald Trump speaks to reporters at Manhattan Criminal Court, May 21, 2024 in New York. Trump has spent the majority of his time as a criminal defendant sitting nearly motionless for hours, leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed. It is in part a strategy in response to warnings that behaving like he has in past trials could backfire. Trump has also been able to speak several times a day to a gaggle of media camped outside the courtroom, giving him an outlet to vent his frustrations. (Michael M. Santiago/Pool Photo via AP, File)
