Defense rests without Trump testimony
Former President Trump will not take the stand in his own defense during his New York criminal trial, after his attorneys rested their case Tuesday, shortly after prosecutors did the same the day before.
The decision to keep Trump off the stand comes after weeks of uncertainty, with Trump sometimes telling reporters he could testify — a move legal experts have warned could be risky in the former president’s first criminal trial — and other times ignoring persistent questions on the matter.
