Donald Trump says he will not testify

The trial of former President Donald Trump in New York is set to resume today, with Trump having announced that he will not be testifying. Trump, who had been questioned earlier in the trial, decided against a second testimony, believing that he had already “very successfully & conclusively” testified last month. This decision was made public through a social media post. Trump’s legal team informed both the court and the New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office of his decision. The ongoing civil fraud trial, brought against Trump by James’ office, accuses him of inflating the value of his assets to secure better financial terms.
