Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on Donald Trump declining to take the stand in his hush money trial

Donald Trump has decided not to take the stand amid his hush money trial.  The former president faces charges of falsifying documents to cover up payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.  The trial's defence has now wrapped up as jurors prepare for deliberations.  US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Trump declined to speak, despite his claims throughout the case he's been silenced.  He says it's not uncommon for criminal defendants to not take the stand, as it opens them up to cross examination.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
