Sorry, I don't know of a full account, but Barere wrote memoirs that were translated into English not long after they came out - if you have a good university library they may have them - and Fatimahcrossin posted a link to Billaud-Varenne's memoirs a few posts ago - I have no idea if either cover the Danton trial, though! The only accounts I've come across (e.g. Norman Hampson's Life and Opinions of Maximilien Robespierre, which has several pages on the backstage machinations, with sources listed) are pieced together from anecdotes. Robespierre's contribution to Saint-Just's speech is well documented in Mathiez and others, but I'm assuming that's one of the primary sources you already have. (The only biog of Danton I've read is Hilaire Belloc's, and that's so old the author himself admits his reasearch was outdated by the time the second edition came out!)
