Trump has shown he is 'incapable of feigning respect' in his New York criminal trial, according to a former district attorney.
Donald Trump likely ignored 'the most basic thing defense lawyers instruct their clients to do' while in court for his Stormy Daniels hush money trial on Thursday, according to a prominent legal expert.Joyce Vance, a former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, made the claim in a post on her Substack blog in response to a claim that Trump was failing to 'rise along with everyone else in the courtroom' as potential jurors were seated in the audience.
Vance also used her post to speculate over whether Trump will personally testify in the case. On April 12, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee insisted he would commenting: 'I'm testifying. I tell the truth.'However Vance argued Trump's legal team is likely to urge him not to testify in person.Referencing this possibility she wrote: 'Will he or won't he? In every criminal trial, the smart money says no. Absolutely, absolutely not.
