It appears some of the senators who will decide the US president's fate have needed help to remain focussed during the hearings.

Mr Burr was seen playing with a blue fidget spinner while listening to arguments by Democratic congressman Jerrold Nadler, NBC News reported.

Republican senators Tom Cotton and Pat Toomey were also spotted with fidget spinners on their desks, although neither were seen playing with the toys.Republican Rand Paul appeared to be either drawing or tracing a sketch of the US Capitol building, while senator Marsha Blackburn was seen reading a book and underlining a passage in it, NBC News said.

However, it would not be the first time during the first days of the trial that senators appeared to break those rules. During Wednesday's proceedings, some senators milled around during arguments by Democrat Adam Schiff.Mr Paul was also reportedly spotted with a hidden crossword puzzle in his papers. There also appeared to be a Sudoku game on the page.Each side in Mr Trump's impeachment trial has up to three days to present its case.

After prosecutors finish their case - which is likely to be on Friday - the president's lawyers will have as much as 24 hours to present their arguments.More stories
