Trump’s hush money trial, and some are willing to pay big for others to wait in lines Day; Paige Singh got to see Donald Trump on trial The Bay Area mom, in town from California to accompany her husband on business, snagged a spot on Tuesday for what has quickly become one of the hottest tickets in New York City, thanks to her husband and the professional line-stander he hired as a Mother’s Day gift to hold a spot for her in the queue outside the courthouse.
“My husband? He thinks it’s crazy,” she said. And her kids “just laugh.”
But for Singh, the hundreds of dollars she sent via Zelle to a stranger holding her place outside the Manhattan criminal courthouse was well worth the chance to see the former president of the United States on trial.
The paid place-holding went so well that Singh, who also attended part of E. Jean Carroll’s defamation trial against Trump, changed her travel plans to squeeze in an extra day at the court.
"It was so easy, so I thought, 'Maybe I'll go. So I changed my flight," she said.
