Original Note:
In the US legal system, prosecution and defense occur inside the courtroom in order to avoid uncontrolled information determining and outcome. In this case, Trump elected to bypass his opportunity to to defend himself. The gag order doesn't block the ability to testify. https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/trump-hush-money-trial-not-testify-rcna153253
