What a coward. Whines and cries about being gagged and not being able to tell his side. Then chooses not to testify.
What a loser
"Defense lawyers for Donald Trump rested their case at his criminal hush money trial Tuesday without calling the former president to testify.
Trump’s decision not to take the witness stand was not a surprise, as testifying carries serious risks for any criminal defendant, particularly for one with a tendency to speak off the cuff and undercut his prior statements, as he has shown in testimony in other, civil matters.
Trump had previously said he was “absolutely” willing to testify in the case, where he is accused of falsifying business records related to reimbursing his then-personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen for paying porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged sexual tryst with Trump.
“Your honor, the defense rests,” Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche told Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan."
