Trump vows to make his voice heard in court as first week of trial draws to a close. Here's what you missed on Day 4.
The former president, who has largely sat silently in the courtroom during a week's worth of court proceedings, told reporters that he will take the stand.
Four days into the first criminal trial of a former president, Donald Trump was showing signs of frustrations.
He had listened to scores of New Yorkers express less-than-favorable opinions about him, was restricted in what he could say in court, and had even been told to sit down by the judge.
“Sir, can you please have a seat,” said Juan Merchan, the soft-spoken judge who is presiding over Trump’s hush money trial, when the former president thought Friday's proceedings were over and got up to leave.
As Trump returned to the defense table, Merchan thanked him.
Trump exited the room minutes later looking weary and promising to testify at the trial, which he slammed as a “witch hunt.”
