Are Americans paying attention to the Trump trial?
The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ's Senior North America correspondent John Sudworth considers whether the public cares about the outcome of the case, as it hurtles towards its conclusion.
It held the promise of an only-in-America blockbuster trial - a former president in the dock in a case brimming with salacious detail. But despite the weeks of testimony, the millions of pages of documents and the ranks of live TV cameras assembled outside, the US public appears strangely detached. In a recent poll, just 16% of respondents said theyβd been following the trial βvery closelyβ and a third of those surveyed said they were taking only a mild interest in proceedings. More Americans said the trial made them feel "bored" or "angry" than interested.
