Former President Donald Trump claimed on Tuesday that he wanted to testify again in his New York fraud trial but was unable to do so because of the gag order imposed on him.

The gag order imposed on Trump prevents him and his attorneys from making public comments about Judge Arthur Engoron's staff, but the former president claims it has taken away "my constitutional right to defend myself."

"I wanted to testify on Monday, despite the fact that I already testified successfully, answering all questions having to do with the Fake, No Victims, No Jury lawsuit, thrown at me by the Corrupt Racist A.G., Letitia James, and presided over by a Trump hating judge who suffers from a massive case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and is a puppet for the CROOKED A.G.," Trump wrote.

"The Judge, Arthur Engoron, put a GAG ORDER on me, even when I testify, totally taking away my constitutional right to defend myself. We are appealing, but how would you like to be a witness and not be allowed free snd [sic] honest speech. THE TRIAL IS RIGGED. I DID NOTHING WRONG!!!"

Trump announced on Sunday he would not be testifying on Monday in the trial in the Empire State. The former president appealed the gag order to New York's highest court earlier this month, only weeks after it had been reinstated.

The $250 million fraud case was levied against the Trump Organization by New York Attorney General Letitia James last year, with Engoron already finding Trump liable for the fraud claims. The nonjury trial is currently proceeding to examine six claims brought by James and is expected to conclude this month.

The New York case is one of several court cases the former president faces as he seeks to return to the White House with his 2024 presidential bid.
