Trump says he would have "no problem" testifying in New York hush money trial

Former President Donald Trump said Monday he would have "no problem" testifying in his criminal hush money trial, now set to begin next month.

After attending that trial in New York, Trump told reporters, "I would have no problem testifying. I did nothing wrong."

Trump's New York criminal trial will begin with jury selection on April 15, Judge Juan Merchan said Monday after rejecting a motion to dismiss the former president's indictment entirely or further delay the trial.

Despite the scheduled date, Trump cast doubt on whether there would be a lawsuit, saying, "I don't know that you'll have a lawsuit. I don't know how you can have a lawsuit like this in the middle of an election, a presidential election." "

Asked if he was concerned that a conviction in that case might cost him the November election, Trump replied, "Well, it might even make me more popular because people would know." "This is a scam. This is Biden's lawsuit.
