Trump Claims That He’ll Testify In His Own Defense

NBC News reports:

Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday in an interview that he’d “absolutely” take the witness stand in his own defense if the criminal cases against him go to trial. “Oh yes, absolutely. That, I would do,” Trump said when asked by radio host Hugh Hewitt if he’d testify. “That, I look forward to.”

Trump did not specify which of the four criminal cases against him he’d be willing to testify in, and also suggested that none of them will actually make it to trial.

“They’ll get dismissed, but we’re going to be asking, we’re going to be asking for dismissals of these politically motivated cases,” Trump said. “This is a scam. This is election interference,” he contended.
