Donald Trump,Testify,Oath

Former President Donald Trump has announced that he will testify under oath in his criminal hush money trial, which is set to begin in New York. Trump is facing charges of falsifying business records related to a payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. This trial marks the first ever against a former president.

Donald Trump said he would testify under oath in his criminal hush money trial, which is set to begin Monday in New York.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee's remarks came at a press conference with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., at Trump's Florida resort home Mar-a-Lago. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg accuses Trump of facilitating that payment and others to unlawfully hide information from voters ahead of the 2016 presidential election, which Trump would go on to win.Asked at Mar-a-Lago what he will be looking for when the jury selection process begins Monday, Trump said, "Jury selection is largely luck. It depends who you get."

Trump and his lawyers have said that conflict is that Merchan's daughter works for a Democratic political firm. Merchan already rejected that argument last year, but Trump's lawyers recently filed another recusal request on similar grounds. Trump has repeatedly targeted the judge's daughter on social media, prompting Merchan to expand a gag order on Trump.
