PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump told reporters Friday he would “absolutely” testify in his upcoming hush money trial that is set to begin on Monday.
“Yeah, I would testify, absolutely,” he said in response to a question from NBC News.
Trump, who is charged with 34 counts of first-degree falsifying business records, repeatedly called the trial a “scam” during his press conference at Mar-a-Lago.
Jury selection in the trial, which is expected to last six to eight weeks, begins Monday.
“I’m testifying. I tell the truth, I mean, all I can do is tell the truth. And the truth is that there is no case,” Trump said.
