• Donald Trump said Friday he plans to testify in his hush-money trial, set to start Monday.
  • Trump previously backed out of testifying in his civil fraud trial.
  • The former president could open himself up to risky cross-examination if he testifies.

Former President Donald Trump on Friday said he will “absolutely” testify in his upcoming Manhattan hush-money trial, which is set to begin jury selection on Monday morning.

But Trump hasn’t always kept his testimony promises.

    side note: is it really an “affair” when you’re explicitly paying for sexual services?,

    He was married at the time, so it would typically be considered an affair. I don’t think the Christofascists in the GOP would be particularly amenable to an open relationship.

      He’s divorced 3 times. 4? It’s hard to believe anyone could actually believe this guy has been faithful to his marital vows.

      If you didn’t reason yourself into your position, being Christian, you don’t need to actually be reasonable. “He’s a flawed christian” which makes this born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-his-mouth-billionaire just like us regular christian imperfect joes!
