He says a lot of shit Guarantee his lawyers won't let that happen.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump said he “absolutely” plans to testify in the federal government’s case against him regarding classified documents he removed from the White House.
In an interview on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” that dropped Wednesday, the host asked Trump, “Did you direct anyone to move the boxes, Mr. President?
I come under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump replied, while also taking a quick detour to bash Hewitt.
The law states: “Upon the conclusion of a President’s term of office, or if a President serves consecutive terms upon the conclusion of the last term, the Archivist of the United States shall assume responsibility for the custody, control, and preservation of, and access to, the Presidential records of that President.” There is an allowance for presidents to keep records that are of “a purely private or nonpublic character” and unrelated to presidential duties, but many of the documents Trump was found to possess came from government agencies, such as the C.I.A.
When Hewitt asked Trump if he would testify in his own defense at the trial in the documents case, the former president said, “That, I would do.
In addition to discussing his legal troubles, Hewitt asked Trump for his thoughts on an unrelated topic: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
