The Sleepy Don is reportedly still nodding off in court.
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman confirmed that she's seen with her own eyes while inside the courtroom that former President Donald Trump is catching Zs while seated in a lower Manhattan trial while prosecutors put on their evidence before the jury.
"Sometimes he is sleeping," the Pulitzer award-winning reporter said during an appearance on CNN's "The Source.. "I know there's this huge sleeping debate... of our time."

"It's the most important thing of the trial," she said with sarcasm. "But sometimes he is sleeping. That is 100% true."
Trump is expected to be going to trial for weeks while he defends himself against charges he fudged business records to alter the outcome of the 2016 election.
For anyone doubting Haberman's claim, she has independently confirmed it.
"I've seen it and people around him have confirmed to me that he has been sleeping at times that we have said he is," said Haberman.
Since the trial began and rumblings of Trump in a snooze mode surfaced, he has come out denying it.
One campaign spokesperson came forward and called the claims bogus.
"This is 100% Fake News coming from ‘journalists’ who weren’t even in the court room,” a Trump campaign spokesperson stated.
In fact, privately Trump reportedly has "raged” to confidants about his treatment in the courtroom, and has been furious there are allegations of his snoozing.
To Trump's credit, there are times that the 45th president has his eyelids shut and isn't sleeping — and Haberman claims that's a coping mechanism for him to remain calm during moments of anxiety.
"However sometimes he is closing his eyes — and I've talked to people around him about this too — because that is how he tries to just basically stay calm and deal with it."
She continued: "And whether that then leads to sleep or whatever, who knows, but he is sitting there with his eyes closed for long periods of time. It's not always sleeping."
