Judge Calls Out Trump For Making False Claims About Gag Order

After proclaiming last year that he would “absolutely” testify in his own defence if any of his criminal cases go to trial, former US President Donald Trump appears to be singing a new tune.

Trump claimed on Thursday he would be unable to testify in the trial concerning a hush money scheme and falsified business records, and blamed the gag order he’s currently under for keeping him off the stand.

“I’m not allowed to testify. I’m under a gag order,” he told reporters in the hallway outside the courtroom.
