‘I Would Beg Him Not to Take the Stand’: CNN Legal Analyst Says Trump Shouldn’t Testify in NY Criminal Case Because Last Time ‘Went Dreadfully’

EXCERPT:

HONIG: "So, on the second point first, I would beg him not to take the stand. You never quite know what Donald Trump will do. I think it‘s unlikely he takes the stand, Jake. Even though in movies and TV, the defendants seems to always take the stand, it‘s quite rare in a criminal case. Now, we did get a bit of a preview of how this might go. He took the stand in the civil case in New York and that went dreadfully for Donald Trump. If I was his lawyer, I might try to remind him of that. So, it‘s always the defendant's prerogative. He always has the right to testify. He has the right not to testify. I do expect him, if any sort of reason and sanity prevails here, not to take the stand."
