The must-have accessory at Donald Trump’s hush money trial? Binoculars. In a New York City courtroom where cameras are not allowed and where most of the primo spots offering the best views of the ex-president are taken, these devices are being deployed by enterprising reporters, courtroom sketch artists, and legal analysts straining to see the former president's every grimace and pout, and to maybe catch him napping as well.
“The judge is in the top left-hand corner. The witness is testifying in the top right corner. The lawyers are in the bottom left-hand corner. Trump is at the bottom right.” Hirschkorn said Trump may seem larger than life to some people, but on the screen 'he's smaller than life and that's when it helps to have the binoculars.' Also, in a trial like this, 'a lot of the evidence is on the screen,' Hirschkorn said.
