Former President Donald Trump said in a statement he invoked the 5th Amendment in a New York probe targeting the Trump organization.

In the lengthy statement, Trump blasted New York Attorney General Letitia James as politically motivated and alleged he "did nothing wrong."
"I once asked, 'If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?' Now I know the answer to that question," Trump wrote in announcing his decision to invoke his right against self-incrimination. "When your family, your company and all the people in your orbit have become the targets of an unfounded, politically motivated Witch Hunt supported by lawyers, prosecutors and the Fake News Media, you have no choice."
James' investigation began after former Trump attorney Michael Cohen told federal lawmakers in 2019 that Trump regularly inflated the value of his properties and net worth to get better insurance and loan rates. Her office said in May that it was near the end of its probe and that investigators had amassed substantial evidence that could support legal action, such as a lawsuit, against Trump, his company or both.

@Mela your dreams
Is anyone surprised? Let’s see if we get access to those January 6th texts that were deleted.
I’m surprised that a guy that’s screen name starts with “chess” only understands the world in terms of checkers…
BEST ADVICE EVER. Keep it going !
Trump: *“You see the mob takes the Fifth,”* he said. *“If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”*
It’s your right, and smart to do it. If cops had something on you, they would not care what you had to say. Like when a cop pulls you over and says, do you k ow why your stopped? You say yes I was speeding. Admission of guilt and will go I to report. Then you go to court and fight it, judge says… you admitted it to the cop?
Jesus did not say that, BLASPHEMY
Because he can read the 5th
WAKE UP…HOW CAN YOU ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WHEN YOU CANT TRUST THEM…???
ONLY THE CRIMINALS/MOB PLEADS THE FIFF 😜 😜 😜 ✊👌✊
You can’t censor truth it will only come back as hard knocks, the people that try are only proving that guilt is making their decisions for them.
Indict TraitorTrumpet!
Satan to tRump: “You’re revolting, Donald – I like that in a person!”
Oh no, not the dreaded tRump. Now I have to read your post in the intended lisp.
Good for him, that’s what the Constitution is for. Way too Go Mr President…
Any good lawyer will tell you to take the 5th in a witch hunt like this.
Any good lawyer would tell you don’t flush evidence of your crimes down the toilet and take the rest home with you. Go FBI
