'Act of defiance': Expert says Trump closing eyes is his way to signal he doesn't care

NBC News reporter Vaughn Hillyard said Tuesday that Trump's behavior in court is coming off as if he doesn't care — and the jury is noticing it.

Speaking to MSNBC, Hillyard said actions like shutting his eyes are sending a clear defiant signal to anybody watching.

"The eyes. We come back to the eyes being shut for two minutes at a time," Hillyard explained. "He would have his eyes shut this morning. Then he would open them quickly and mention something to his attorney, but then go back to his eyes shut.
