If Trump were directing the Watergate break in, he would have sued Frank Wills.
NEWS: Jack Smith laid bare the extraordinary scope of his team’s interviews with Trump’s top intelligence officials — including his own intel briefer — to debunk claims that foreign governments manipulated vote totals in 2020. Details TK pic.twitter.com/A96UPnQ6Yu
Prosecutors also contended with Trump’s demand for evidence related to informants or undercover agents in Jan. 6 mob, comparing it to a bank robber’s attempt to “blame security guards who failed to stop his crime.”

Former President Trump is no longer planning to testify in his ongoing New York civil fraud trial on Monday, he said in a Truth Social post on Sunday.
Why it matters: Trump, who took the stand in November, was expected to testify Monday as the final and star witness in his own defense in the case.
The $250 million case — which is in its final stages — is putting his net worth on trial and threatening to block him from doing business in his native state.
[...]
The big picture: Trump, who is currently fighting four criminal cases, voluntarily attended court proceedings multiple times throughout the trial, which started in October.
Trump frequently lambasted New York Judge Arthur Engoron, who is overseeing the trial and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who filed the suit against him, his adult children and his business last year.
Trump, who lost a bid for a mistrial in the case, voluntarily showed up at the Manhattan courthouse last week as a spectator, when he derided the case as a "witch hunt" and slammed it as a "very corrupt trial."
Zoom in: During his first testimony in November, which lasted nearly four hours, Trump clashed with Engoron and acknowledged having some input on the financial statements at the center of the lawsuit.
