Trump Declines Second Testimony in NY Fraud Trial Amidst 2024 Campaign

Legal battles become central to Trump's political platform as he faces 91 criminal charges across four cases.

Donald Trump has announced he will not testify again in his New York civil fraud trial, stating he has nothing more to say after his previous testimony.
Trump's decision comes amidst a busy campaign schedule, with events in Iowa and New Hampshire, as he leads the GOP field for the 2024 presidential nomination.
The former president's legal battles have become a central part of his political platform, with his team capitalizing on the media coverage and fundraising off his legal issues.
Trump's legal team has advised him against testifying due to a gag order that has already cost him $15,000 in fines for disparaging the judge's law clerk.
Aside from the civil case in New York, Trump faces 91 criminal charges across four cases, with trials set to begin in the early months of 2024.
