LOADING ERROR LOADINGFormer President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he would “absolutely” testify in his own defense if any of his criminal cases go to trial. That, I look forward to,” Trump said in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. Trump, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, has pleaded not guilty to all charges and aggressively attacked prosecutors and judges assigned to the cases. The federal judge overseeing the federal election interference case recently set a trial date of March 4, 2024, a day before the Super Tuesday primaries. If Trump actually took the stand, it would be a major moment for a former president and an unusual step, as defendants are generally advised not to testify in their own cases.
