Donald Trump claimed that he is unable to take the stand as a witness in his New York hush-money trial because he is under a gag order. This is a lie. On Friday Judge Juan Merchan directly addressed the claim in court. “It came to my attention that there may be [confusion on] extrajudicial statements and how it impacts Mr. Trump’s right to testify,” he said. “I want to stress, Mr. Trump, that you have the absolute right to testify at trial. That is a constitutional right that cannot be denied or infringed upon.”Merchan added that “the order does not prohibit you from taking the stand, in fact as the name suggests, it’s extrajudicial statements — that is statements that are made outside of court — [that are prohibited]. It does not apply to statements made from the witness stand."Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkbwLFZhawBqK2b9gW08z3g/joinFive Minute News with Anthony Davis is an Evergreen Podcast, covering politics, inequality, health and climate - delivering independent, unbiased and essential news for the US and across the world.Visit us online at http://www.fiveminute.news Follow us on Twitter http://twitter.com/fiveminnewsFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/fiveminnewsSupport us on Patreon http://www.patreon.com/fiveminutenewsYou can subscribe to Five Minute News with your preferred podcast app, ask your smart speaker, or enable Five Minute News as your Amazon Alexa Flash Briefing skill.Please subscribe HERE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkbwLFZhawBqK2b9gW08z3g?sub_confirmation=1 Learn more about your ad choices.
