Hahahaha. Ol' Trumpy claims he is going to testify at his trial. HAHAHAHAHA. How many times has
that happened. His attorneys would probably quit on the spot if he did.
Pretty sure his "testimony" will be the same as when he promised to come back and appear at trial to confront Jean. That really panned out didn't it? Except in this case, he will actually have to come to trial.
Trumpy today: “I will definitely take the stand!”
Trumpy at trial: “The defendant waived the right to testify.”
Trumpy after conviction: “I wanted to testify. I had the evidence. Big beautifu-…I mean, you should have seen this evidence. I had other people look at this evidence and they said it was the best evidence that they ever saw.”

Trump: ‘I’m Allowed to Do Whatever I Want’ With Classified Info
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Trump%3A+%E2%80%98I%E2%80%99m+Allowed+to+Do+Whatever+I+Want%E2%80%99+With+Classified+InfoDonald Trump said he “absolutely” plans to testify in the federal government’s case against him regarding classified documents he removed from the White House. “I’m allowed to do whatever I want … I’m allowed to do everything I did,” the former president told conservative podcast host Hugh Hewitt.
In an interview on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” that dropped Wednesday, the host asked Trump, “Did you direct anyone to move the boxes, Mr. President? Did you tell anyone to move the boxes?” referring to the boxes of more than 300 classified documents the federal government seized last year from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
“I don’t talk about anything. You know why? Because I’m allowed to do whatever I want. I come under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump replied, while also taking a quick detour to bash Hewitt. “I’m not telling you. You know, every time I talk to you, ‘Oh, I have a breaking story.’ You don’t have any story. I come under the Presidential Records Act. I’m allowed to do everything I did.”
Trump has long been misrepresenting what is allowed under the Presidential Records Act.
When Hewitt asked Trump if he would testify in his own defense at the trial in the documents case, the former president said, “That, I would do. That, I look forward to, because that’s just like Russia, Russia, Russia. That’s all the fake information from Russia, Russia, Russia. Remember when the dossier came out and everyone said, ‘Oh, that’s so terrible, that’s so terrible,’ and then it turned out to be it was a political report put out by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. They paid millions for it. They gave it to Christopher Steele. They paid millions and millions of dollars for it, and it was all fake. It was all fake.”
“So I look forward, I look forward to testifying. At trial, I’ll testify,” Trump added. Of course, Trump loves to talk a big game, and we likely won’t know if he will actually testify until next year. The classified documents trial is set to begin in May 2024.
Hewitt followed up by asking, “If you do [testify] and they ask you on the stand, did you order anyone to move boxes, how will you answer?”
“I’m not answering that question for you,” Trump said, “but I’m totally covered under the law.”
