He blusters and postures like always, but he won't do it. And his lawyers will have warned him how disastrous it would be if he did (not that he listens to his lawyers). Also, if the lawyers let him testify knowing he'll lie, which he would because he always does, they're in ethical hot water themselves because they'd be suborning perjury - they'd have to withdraw from representing him.
