    Trump is calling the judge's hand. He mouthed off again today. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

    they hardly objected at all, and really, this leads to motive to cover it up

    this was embarrassing to the Trump campaign

    They objected to almost every question and were not sustained and filed for a mistrial immediately stop trying to falsely assert they have not made such motions and do keep up a better.

    Nonsense. Defendants are always allowed to testify. A gag order cannot apply to testimony in court.

    ROFL yes we all believed Bragg would bring a case he would have to testify to. He mist certainly did not. Why should he testify NOW?

    What does he need to testify to to insure a not guilty verdict where does Bragg hace him.

    Was the sexual abuser/business fraud lying when he insisted he would testify, or did he become scared at the prospect of being charged with perjury?

    Most definitely a sound legal team would be doing everything in power to keep Trumps Lips together as much as humanly possible. Remember the Go-go's Bumper .. "Our Lips are Sealed" .. a very catchy tune to be sure .. and splendid much music vid )

    None of that is the point which is that your Hero**** lied....yet again.

    And some people have the gall to be critical of the confessed liar, Cohen, because he is a liar.

    "God - Lying Pig" you say to the MAGA adherent .. an accusation not far off the mark when talking "SEX" and sleaze .. BUT - Lest we not take log out of own eye .. prior to criticism of our MAGA brothers and sisters- Consider the "Lying Pig" of your worship .. Genocide Joe .. who Lies not about "Sex" - a topic when it comes down to it I care not much about having little to do with National Business .. but on matters exceedingly important to National Business .. such as Supporting war crimes -- crimes against humanity.. with lies so foul .. veto of UN motions calling out these crimes ... with lies .. lies and more lies .. same story with the war in Ukraine .. lie lie lie.. Further restricting civil liberties -- on the basis of lies censorship to propagate the big lie .. and Brother Julian still in Jail .. on the basis of the Big Lie .. Genocide Joe not in Jail .. on the basis of the "Moderate Rebel Lie" ..

    "Just in case you missed your God ***lying like the pig he***is ......" -- -- Log - meet Eye .. :)

    Yes at the time everyine thought Bragg would present a case. For what does Trump need to testify to refute or defend against?

    Trump could take the stand and, if he really believes he did nothing wrong, tell his version of the truth, that he knew nothing about the payments to Stormy or the other woman, that Cohen is lying, that the business records aren't falsified. I would if I really were innocent and in his position.
    Problem is that, deep down inside, Trump knows he did most of the stuff they accuse him of, so he won't testify under oath but get on truth social and hold rallies where he rails against his perceived oppressors. He doesn't have the gonads to take the stand.

    He never claimed to know nothing about them and the prosecution already established he didn't. Nothing Cohen uttered can be taken as truthful Trump has NO need to refute him. You would not because your attorney would tell you you have no need to especially with a DA who only wants to ask salicious questions which are totally immaterial to the charges and a judge who has demonstrated he wiukd allow them.

    I don't buy that excuse. Trump could bring out much of what he whines about at rallies and press conferences, but he won't, because he knows deep down he doesn't have the intestinal fortitude and honesty that would be required to take the stand.
    How many times, in all the years and thousands of court actions, has Trump actually testified?

    He became aware Bragg had brought no case he needs to testify against. Really quite simple. And yes it would be just like Bragg to make up a perjury to keep him further off the campaign trail.

    HE DOESN'T NEED TO. This trial is about how the payments were recoded in the books. Trump had nothing to do with it according to the PROSECUTION'S OWN WITNESSES.

    He would run the risk of lying under oath. Making the situation even worse for him. "His version of the truth" is just that.......HIS version.
