Trump Backs Out of Testifying in Civil Fraud Trial

Former President Donald Trump announced on social media that he will not testify in his $250 million civil fraud trial in New York. Trump's attorney stated that there is nothing more to say to a judge who has imposed an unconstitutional gag order and ignored Trump's previous testimony. The trial, which accuses Trump and his co-defendants of falsely inflating his assets, is entering its final week of testimony. Trump criticized the trial as a "witch hunt" and claimed it would keep businesses out of New York. The New York Attorney General responded by stating that they have already proven Trump's financial fraud and unjust enrichment.
