As prosecutors near the home stretch of their criminal case against Donald Trump, one of the biggest questions looming over the historic trial is whether the former president will take the stand in his own defense. Just last month, before jury selection began, Trump insisted he would be on the witness stand. 'I would testify, absolutely,” he said April 12 in response to a question from NBC News. “I’m testifying. I tell the truth, I mean, all I can do is tell the truth.
Trump 'could testify he did not intend for it to be about the election,' and that he was in the dark about the records being falsified because he was preoccupied with other matters since he was president at the time he signed Cohen's checks, Levin said. Aidala agreed, saying Trump could tell the jury, 'I no longer had the luxury of time to keep track of these matters.
