(New York, NY) — Former President Trump is pleading the Fifth in a probe carried out by the New York Attorney General. He refused to answer questions at a deposition in New York City as part of a civil investigation into his business. In a statement, Trump said he once asked why people would plead the Fifth if they’re innocent, but says he now understands. The New York A-G is looking into whether the Trump Organization improperly reported real estate assets. This comes two days after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in search of White House documents he allegedly took when leaving office.
