Original Note:
This claim is false. Merchan did not bar Smith from testifying. Trump's defense chose not to call him. Smith would not have been allowed to specifically testify as to whether he believes Trump broke the law, as that would violate NY State Court Rules. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-brad-smith-testify-trump-trial-907236056289
