HH: So if you have to go to trial, will you testify in your own defense?

DT: Oh, yes, absolutely. Oh, on that…

HH: You’ll take the stand?

DT: That, I would do. That, I look forward to, because that’s just like Russia, Russia, Russia. That’s all the fake information from Russia, Russia, Russia. Remember when the dossier came out and everyone said oh, that’s so terrible, that’s so terrible, and then it turned out to be it was a political report put out by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. They paid millions for it. They gave it to Christopher Steele. They paid millions and millions of dollars for it, and it was all fake. It was all fake.

HH: Now I think that obstruction charge is going to get to trial, Mr. President.

DT: So I look forward, I look forward to testifying. At trial, I’ll testify.

[Easy to say, perhaps not so easy to do. It depends on which charges Trump faces and where the jury pool originates. Any jury in DC or New York City, for instance, will likely already be hostile to Trump, which would make it arguably worse on him if he were to get on the stand and be, well, Trump. That may be less true in Georgia, although he’s certainly not all that popular in the state and especially not in Fulton County. The Florida case on obstruction — the most serious of the cases for Trump — could be different, and Trump may well appeal to jurors with his defense of his actions. — Ed]
