Former President Donald Trump strongly suggested he plans to take the stand in his own defense in the event that he’s indicted over his false claims about the 2020 election.
The former president took to Truth Social on Wednesday to complain about the legal scrutiny he has faced throughout his political existence. During a series of posts he signaled he’ll testify when and if his election lies get put on trial in connection with January 6.
“We’ll have fun on the stand with all of these people that say the Presidential Election wasn’t Rigged and Stollen [sic],” Trump posted, adding an all-caps claim it’ll be “THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY!!!”
Trump’s remarks come about a week after he announced Special Counsel Jack Smith sent him a letter informing the ex-president that he is a “target” of the investigation into the January 6th Capitol riot. The letter indicates Smith will indict Trump over his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and Smith has indicted Trump already on the seperate matter of his mishandling of classified documents.
