- Donald Trump said Friday he plans to testify in his hush-money trial, set to start Monday.
- Trump previously backed out of testifying in his civil fraud trial.
- The former president could open himself up to risky cross-examination if he testifies.
Former President Donald Trump on Friday said he will “absolutely” testify in his upcoming Manhattan hush-money trial, which is set to begin jury selection on Monday morning.
But Trump hasn’t always kept his testimony promises.
He’s required to be at the criminal trial, so no easy excuse.
