Former President Donald Trump declared Saturday he will not testify again in the New York civil fraud trial threatening his real estate empire. Trump had been summoned to appear Monday as a defense witness in state Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit alleging Trump Organization business fraud. But in an all-caps social media post, Trump maintained he had already "successfully and conclusively" testified last month and had nothing more to contribute. By refusing to appear and complete his testimony, Trump risks jeopardizing his self-cultivated image as a triumphant businessman amid allegations of extensive financial misconduct at his firm. But the defiant ex-president insisted he already covered everything relevant and explicitly stated "I WILL NOT BE TESTIFYING ON MONDAY."
