Former President Donald Trump expressed his willingness to testify in his upcoming criminal hush money trial, stating that he has 'no problem' doing so. The trial, scheduled to commence on April 15 in New York, will involve jury selection as confirmed by Judge Juan Merchan.
During a recent hearing related to the trial, Trump confidently asserted his innocence, stating, 'I would have no problem testifying. I didn't do anything wrong.' Despite his readiness to testify, Trump also raised doubts about the trial's timing, questioning the feasibility of holding such proceedings amidst a presidential election.
Trump's attempts to have the indictment dismissed or the trial delayed were rejected by the judge, indicating that the trial will proceed as scheduled. When asked about the potential impact of a conviction on his electoral prospects, Trump suggested that it could backfire, potentially boosting his popularity among supporters who view the trial as politically motivated.
As the legal proceedings unfold, Trump remains steadfast in his stance, characterizing the trial as a 'scam' and attributing it to partisan motivations. The upcoming trial is poised to be a significant moment in the former president's post-administration endeavors, with implications for both his legal standing and political future.
