Former President Donald 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 AG's office is looking into whether the Trump Organization improperly reported real estate assets. On Monday, the FBI raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in search of White House documents he allegedly took when leaving office.
