Donald Trump spent hours in a deposition Wednesday with the New York attorney general and invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to answer questions, the latest in a series of ominous legal developments that would have once been considered devastating for a former president considering another run for the White House.
Trump emerged from the question-and-non-answer session with praise for the “very professional” way Attorney General Letitia James’s team handled the meeting, in which he refused more than 400 times to answer questions about his businesses, property valuations and loans, according to a person with knowledge of the discussion. This person, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe the closed session, said Trump stated his name, formally declared his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself, and from then on replied to many questions with two words: “Same answer.”
Remember Donald, Hillary did not plead the fifth and she was subject to a politically motivated witch hunt (because it was so cool for gym Jordan to say Benghazi 800 times.). And Donald, Hillary told the truth for 11 Hours and was found guilty of nothing.
