Defense Rests Despite Trump Saying He’d ‘Absolutely’ Testify
Soon after he was indicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records over attempts to conceal a $130,000 payoff to a porn star, Donald Trump insisted he’d be absolutely delighted to take the stand at his criminal hush-money trial.
“Yeah I would testify, absolutely,” Trump said in April. “I’m testifying. I tell the truth. All I can do is tell the truth.”
Earlier this month, the former president told reporters he would “probably” testify.
