Legal expert Lisa Rubin recently highlighted the risks of Donald Trump testifying in the New York fraud trial, citing his tendency to cause trouble every time he speaks. Despite predictions that Trump would testify, his absence raised questions about potential schedule disruptions in the court.
Speaking on the matter, Rubin expressed concerns about the trial’s timeline, especially with ongoing cross-examination of accounting expert Eli Bartov. She questioned the availability of witnesses and the feasibility of court proceedings given the uncertainty surrounding the trial schedule.
Rubin emphasized the impact of the gag order, suggesting that Trump’s impulsive nature could jeopardize the proceedings. She pointed to his past admission during a legal proceeding, where he openly asserted control over his financial statements. This admission, while seemingly nonchalant, became a crucial element in the attorney general’s case against him.
In essence, Rubin cautioned against Trump’s impulsivity, emphasizing that his words in a legal setting tend to land him in deeper trouble. The decision to refrain from testifying, she argued, might be a strategic move to avoid potential pitfalls and maintain control over the narrative.
