Trump Changes Mind, Won’t Testify Again as New York Fraud Trial Nears End

Donald Trump changed course on Sunday and said he wouldn’t testify again in his civil-fraud trial, an unexpected pivot in his defense against allegations that threaten the Republican presidential front-runner’s business empire.

Trump had been scheduled to take the stand Monday as his lawyers near the conclusion of their defense presentation. The trial began in October and is being decided without a jury, over allegations that the former president lied about his wealth for financial gain.
