00:00The prosecution withdraws its bid to present former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV as its witness in the impeachment trial of
00:07Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:09The prosecution has finally decided not to present former Senator Sani Trillanes.
00:18We seek the kind indulgence of the Honorable Impeachment Court for the belated final position on this particular concern.
00:28In a separate statement, Trillanes says he requested to be removed from the witness list to relieve the prosecution panel
00:34from pressure it is going through.
00:36He also says he will hold a press conference on Friday, October 2, to disclose the content of his testimony.
00:42The prosecution had intended to call Trillanes to the witness stand to testify on Duterte's bank records.
00:47In 2016, Trillanes released documents detailing years of bank transactions involving then-presidential aspirant Rodrigo Duterte and his family.
00:54During the House impeachment proceedings in April, it was confirmed that Trillanes' records matched AMLAC records.
