Consider this a measure of how thoroughly Todd Blanche dismantled Michael Cohen in cross-examination. Donald Trump almost never passes up an opportunity to grab a microphone and tell a story. Especially in Manhattan.
This time, according to ABC News, Trump apparently doesn’t see a need — or may have heeded advice from his legal team that he can’t do anything but distract from Cohen’s credibility collapse:
Former President Trump is not expected to take the stand in his criminal hush money trial, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
It’s possible that Trump could make a last-minute decision to testify, so sources caution that nothing is final until the defense rests its case.
Trump’s lawyers have indicated publicly that Robert Costello, Michael Cohen’s one-time legal adviser, is expected to be their last witness before they rest their case today.
