Trump says he would testify in upcoming hush money trial [View all]

Donald Trump said Friday that he would testify under oath in his criminal hush money trial, which is set to begin in New York on Monday. “All I can do is tell the truth,” said Trump, who is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records, “and the truth is that there’s no case.”

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee spoke at a press conference with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., at Trump’s Florida resort home Mar-a-Lago.

The trial — the first ever against a former president — centers on a hush money payment in late 2016 to porn star Stormy Daniels, who says she had an extramarital affair with Trump years earlier.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg accuses Trump of facilitating that payment and others to unlawfully hide information from voters ahead of the 2016 presidential election, which Trump would go on to win. Trump is expected to be in court throughout the trial, which could last over six weeks.
