Katherine Doyle is a White House reporter for NBC News.

It took some light pressure for 13-year-old Ben Shapiro to persuade his parents to wake up at the crack of dawn so that he could take the subway downtown for a chance to watch Trump stand trial in his New York hush money case on Tuesday. “At first, they were like, ‘No, you’re not. That’s crazy,’” said Shapiro, a New Yorker who has the day off from school because of Passover. But they relented.

Wearing a turquoise sweatshirt, he was seated in the overflow room with reporters and other members of the public who had lined up for a chance to see Trump and the attorneys defending and prosecuting him up close. An aspiring lawyer, Hope said she has followed the coverage closely. “I asked Owen how much he would bet that Trump falls asleep in the trial,” she said, peering over wire-rimmed glasses to chat before the judge gaveled in.
