When asked by Hugh Hewitt if he would testify in his\u200c own defense if the trials proceed,\u2062 Trump responded with absolute certainty.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, yes, absolutely. Oh, on \u2064that \u200b\u2026 That, I would do.\u2063 That, I look forward to,&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump reiterated his belief \u2062that the charges against \u200dhim are baseless and merely a form of &#8220;fake&#8221; election interference. He eagerly stated, &#8220;So,\u2064 I look forward \u2014 I look forward to testifying. At trial, I\u2019ll testify.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Multiple Criminal Cases<\/h3>\n<p>Trump is currently facing\u200b four criminal cases, two at the\u200b state level and two resulting from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-says-he-will-absolutely-testify-in-his-defense-in-legal-cases\/\" title=\"Trump vows to testify in his defense without a doubt.\">special counsel \u200cinvestigations conducted<\/a>\u2064 by the Justice Department. In \u2062Manhattan,\u200d he is charged with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-jordan-subpoenas-former-manhattan-prosecutor-who-pushed-for-trump-indictment\/\" title=\"Rep. Jordan Subpoenas Former Manhattan Prosecutor Who Pushed for Trump Indictment\">falsifying business records related<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-rejects-trump-bid-to-shield-financial-records\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid To Shield Financial Records\">hush money payments<\/a> during the 2016 campaign. Additionally, he faces federal \u2064trials concerning his handling\u2064 of classified documents\u200b and his efforts \u2064to overturn the 2020 \u200celection, which ultimately led to the U.S. Capitol riots on January 6, \u200d2021. The former will be\u200d held in Florida, while\u2062 the latter will take place in Washington,\u200d D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Trump \u200dwas charged at the state level in Fulton \u2062County, Georgia. District Attorney Fani Willis accused\u2064 him and 18 other defendants of racketeering violations and other felonies for their attempts to\u200b overturn the\u2064 2020\u200b election results in Georgia.<\/p>\n<h3>Legal \u200cProceedings<\/h3>\n<p>Fulton County Superior Court Judge \u200cScott McAfee presided\u200d over arguments regarding the separation of Trump&#8217;s trial from his co-defendants&#8217; trials. While\u200d Trump, along with his lawyers\u200b Kenneth Chesebro \u200cand Sidney Powell, requested separate trials, McAfee \u2064denied \u2064their motions. However,\u2064 some co-defendants, including Trump&#8217;s former chief of staff Mark Meadows, have \u200bsought to move their cases from state to federal court, \u200dwhich could potentially benefit their defense \u2063teams.<\/p>\n<p>Trump expressed\u200b confidence that his\u200d lawyers would seek dismissals for \u200cmany of these &#8220;fake cases,&#8221;\u2063 especially as\u200c his trial in Washington, D.C., coincides with Super Tuesday and the Georgia case is set to be televised. \u2062However, Hewitt cautioned that even if some charges are \u200bdismissed, \u200cprosecutors could\u200b still appeal.<\/p>\n<p>When Hewitt mentioned the possibility of the Supreme \u200bCourt becoming involved, Trump responded, &#8220;I have some great people. But \u2062I hope it doesn\u2019t \u2063even get there. This thing is a \u200bscam. This is a scam. This is election interference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ\u200d MORE \u200bFROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump confirmed that he will testify in his defense in his four criminal court cases.
