Donald Trump's legal team won't put him on the stand in his hush money trial as he is a 'very difficult guy to control', a legal expert has predicted.
The former president is facing up to four years in prison in the ongoing trial over whether he falsified business records in a bid to squash negative press in the run up to the 2016 election.
He has repeatedly claimed he will testify to clear his name, but lawyer and professor at Syracuse University, Gregory Germain, told The Sun his lawyers likely won't let him take the stand.
Germain said: 'He's kind of a bull in a china shop. He's going to be bucking and you just don't know what's going to happen.
'He's a very difficult guy to control. His lawyers are going to be very concerned about putting him on the stand under oath.'
