Trump Tells Huge Lie To Get Out Of Testifying In Hush Money Case

Former President Donald Trump has claimed several times that he will testify in his criminal trial, where he is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. But now, he appears to be looking for a way out. I'm sure his lawyers were panicking when Lumpy told reporters he would testify. A serial liar like Trump would commit perjury, so he falsely said that he can't testify because he's under a gag order.

Judge Juan Merchan fined Trump $9,000 earlier this week for violating the gag order, but that doesn't stop the twice-impeached former President from testifying. But of course, he lied when a reporter asked him about that.

"Well, I'm not allowed to testify," he falsely said. "I'm under a gag order. I guess, right? I can't even testify at all."

"No, we're going to be appealing the gag order," Trump continued. "I'd love to answer that question. It's a very easy question. The easiest question so far."

Then, Trump threw himself a pity party.

"But I'm not allowed to testify because this judge, who's totally conflicted, has me under an unconstitutional gag order," he insisted. "Nobody's ever had that before. And we don't like it, and it's not fair."
