As outlined in the article it was NOT during the prayer. Here are the paragraphs - CBS News verification producer Jim La Porta attempted to clarify the situation on X, writing that Trump's eyes were closed not because he was asleep, but because the clip was allegedly during Pastor James Roemke's prayer. But further scrutiny from Newsweek reveals that the widely circulated clip actually occurred four minutes later, during the speech by Dhillon, a National Committeewoman of the Republican National Committee for California and a regular Fox News guest. During Roemke's prayer, meanwhile, the vast majority of the audience had their eyes closed, including Trump and Vance. Some users misleadingly shared Roemke's prayer clip, falsely claiming that Trump was asleep at this time by cropping out other audience members whose eyes were also closed.
