Original Note:
Donald Trump was never called to the stand during this trial. The claim that he invoked his 5th Amendment rights because he didn't testify is an attempt to mislead readers. There was no requirement for Trump to testify and many defendants being tried choose not to do so. https://apnews.com/article/trump-trial-hush-money-robert-costello-b1beb56a666c398ae5393ede16c326da
