JUST IN: Donald Trump pleads the 5th and refuses to answer any questions under oath in today’s New York testimony
Donald Trump invoked the Fifth Amendment and wouldn't answer questions under oath in the New York attorney general's long-running civil investigation into his business dealings, the former president said in a statement Wednesday.

Trump arrived at state Attorney General Letitia James' offices in a motorcade shortly before 9 a.m., announcing more than an hour later that he "declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution."

As vociferous as Trump has been in defending himself in written statements and on the rally stage, legal experts say the same strategy could have backfired in a deposition setting because anything he says could potentially be used in the criminal investigation.

The civil investigation, led by state Attorney General Letitia James, involves allegations that Trump's company, the Trump Organization, misstated the value of prized assets like golf courses and skyscrapers, misleading lenders and tax authorities.

In May, James' office said that it was nearing the end of its probe and that investigators had amassed substantial evidence that could support legal action against Trump, his company or both. Trump’s deposition — a legal term for sworn testimony that's not given in court — was one of the few remaining missing pieces, the attorney general's office said.

About time someone figured it out to not allow their words to be misused and twisted into bullshit interpretation.

No matter what you could say they'd turn it into a crime of some sort.

Don't fall into their trap.

In a nonpartisan hearing there would be no reason not to speak the truth but when it is a witch-hunt it's best not to speak to the witch that questions you.

Good for him. It was the right thing to do. Every American has the right to plead the 5th and it's not an admission of guilt. It's to protect yourself from the demons lying in wait to twist anything you say and use it against you.

You have rights. Everyone should exercise them.

Next time you get pulled over by a cop and he asks where you are coming from (and the truth is "a bar") make sure you answer honestly. "Anything you say can and WILL be used against you..." You have no obligation to help law enforcement with their case against you.

“The mob takes the Fifth,” he said at an Iowa campaign rally in September. “If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?” Donald J TRump. Trump himself invoked the Fifth Amendment in 1990, during his bitter and public divorce from his first wife, Ivana Trump. The real estate mogul took the Fifth to avoid answering questions about adultery; according to Wayne Barrett's “Trump: The Greatest Show on Earth,” the Fifth Amendment is Trump's “favorite” and allowed him to not answer a total of 97 deposition questions that were mostly about “other women.”

You do NOT have to answer such a question or ANY questions at all. Exercise your 5th Amendment rights STAY SILENT!

Only provide your license, registration, and proof of insurance, say NOTHING else at all. No matter what the cop might claim.

Trump's lawyers told him not to say ANYTHING!!! This is what all lawyers do. They need to understand what he is charged with before replying to anything.
