Trump: ‘I look forward’ to testifying in criminal cases

Donald Trump said Wednesday that if any of the four criminal probes into the former president call him to testify, he would do it.

“Oh, yes, absolutely. That, I would do. ... I look forward to testifying. At trial, I’ll testify,” Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.

Trump previously hinted at taking the witness stand in July before he faced a federal indictment over his alleged efforts to reverse the 2020 election results.

“We’ll have fun on the stand with all of these people that say the Presidential Election wasn’t Rigged and Stollen,” Trump wrote in a July Truth Social post. “THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY!!!”

Trump first entered uncharted territory when he became the first former president to face any kind of criminal charges after being indicted by a New York grand jury in March over his alleged role in a scheme to pay hush money to a porn star during the 2016 presidential campaign. Since then, Trump has been indicted three more times — two times at the federal level. Trump has denied wrongdoing in all four cases.

Trump on Wednesday declined to comment on how he would answer on the stand about whether he ordered anyone to move boxes in the classified documents case.

“I’m not answering that question for you, but I’m totally covered under the law,” Trump said.
