Trump made a major announcement while speaking with Hugh Hewitt today. Trump says he will testify at his trials and he looks forward to the opportunity.
Trump tells @HughHewitt he WILL TESTIFY at his own trial: "Oh, yes, absolutely."

It will be extra fun because he’s apparently skipping trial prep as well. https://t.co/0gwZJXj9gf

Well, this should be an interesting viewing experience.
LOL. This will never happen. Never. pic.twitter.com/XfwyneK9TU

So, honestly, attorneys generally tell clients not to testify. Trump, however, usually does whatever he wants, so when he says he will testify, he very well may.
🤣🤣🤣 This would be epic so it’s not going to happen. His lawyers won’t allow https://t.co/yFCQsIqlxo

The entertainment value would be incredible. They could charge on Pay Per View.
Legally, that would be a debacle. Politically and for the campaign, it would be gold to see him be combative with vindictive, agenda-driven prosecutors.

Of all the things he will never do, taking the stand is the thing he won’t do the most.

Lawyers never want to hear a defendant wants to testify. It's the Prosecution's job to prove a Defendant guilty. You never want to help them.
Nightmare client. Would rather attend a Nationals game than represent a client like Trump. https://t.co/ryGJEgQoeZ

Apologies to all Nationals fans, I'm sure.

All of his lawyers, whether they heard this or not, just collectively sighed and rubbed their temples. https://t.co/PNgaa5llUQ

Trump will change his mind within a week people need to stop freaking out over everything he says. https://t.co/iZeTsZcNuI

Fair enough. Trump may or may not testify. Trump always knows how to drum up media spotlight and today, he was very successful.
