Trump invokes Fifth Amendment
Former President Donald Trump invokes Fifth Amendment rights and declines to answer questions from NY attorney general
Trump was to be deposed by lawyers from New York Attorney General Letitia James' office as part of a more than three-year civil investigation into whether the Trump Organization misled lenders, insurers and tax authorities by providing them misleading financial statements.
Some Trump advisers had advocated that the former President answer questions since he previously testified about his financial statements under oath, while others warned him against providing any answers because of the potential legal jeopardy he may face.
The Manhattan district attorney has a separate ongoing criminal investigation into the Trump Organization.
Oh, remember all the times Trump bashed pleading fhe Fifth?
