Excerpts of Donald Trump's deposition in New York attorney general's fraud investigation

Video obtained by CBS News provides the first look at former President Donald Trump's deposition last summer in the New York attorney general's civil fraud investigation. Trump sat for questioning under oath on Aug. 10. After preliminary procedural questions from state Attorney General Letitia James, Trump makes an opening statement calling the probe "very unfair." In these excerpts, he then repeatedly takes the Fifth Amendment, refusing to answer any questions at all, including about his and his company's finances.

So, I'm assuming that when he chooses not to answer any questions, it means that the prosecutor will just go off of the evidence they found in their investigation, right? So by not answering any questions, he's admitting that the answer could implicate him in a crime, right?

[@voraciousreader3341]

That is exactly correct. “Pleading the fifth” means you are aware of your guilt and therefore, if you speak, you will be giving evidence of your guilt to the lawyers. I suppose it could also mean that the answer to a deposed question could be interpreted as an admission of guilt, but it’s all the same thing. On every occasion when tRump said (about 500 times, lol!) that, “Only a criminal takes the fifth,” he was exactly correct. I also need to point out that, whenever tRump has given a deposition, he has been a loose cannon….he goes off on tangents he shouldn’t, he makes incredibly incriminating statements, or he lies like a rug (commits perjury by lying under oath). He can also become very argumentative and angry, which looks horrible when it’s shown in court. Which is excellent for us!
