"Trump Vows to Testify in Stormy Daniels Hush Money Trial as First Criminal Trial of a Former President Begins"

Former President Donald Trump vows to testify in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial, claiming he will tell the truth and defend himself against 34 felony charges of fabricating business documents to conceal a payment to Daniels. Trump alleges the trial is a "witch hunt" and "scam" orchestrated by the Biden administration, while facing the possibility of up to 136 years in jail or $170,000 in fines if found guilty. Additionally, Trump is on the verge of breaking a gag order and recently posted a letter on Truth Social allegedly signed by Daniels in 2018, denying any sexual relationship with him, which she now claims was coerced.
