Chicken a L'Orange

Donald Trump repeatedly claimed that he wanted to testify during his criminal trial in New York, that he had “no problem” with testifying, and even insisted that he would "absolutely" testify.  "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. 

But the truth is that Trump isn’t going to testify. Because today, Trump’s defense team rested its case without Trump coming near the witness stand. 

Adult film actress Stormy Daniels was willing to tell the jury what she knew even though one of Trump’s attorneys outright accused her of lying. Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen spent days on the stand undergoing tough cross-examination from Trump’s lead attorney.

But Donald Trump chickened out.  Closing arguments are expected to be heard next Tuesday, after which the jury will determine its verdict.
