Donald Trump has invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer questions under oath in the long-running New York civil investigation into his business dealings. The former US President arrived at the New York Attorney General Leticia James’s office on Wednesday morning but sent out a statement more than an hour later saying he declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution. Trump explained that anything he said during the deposition could have been used against him in a criminal case, while James’s investigation is civil in nature. However, the Manhattan District Attorney is running a parallel criminal probe. The investigations stem from allegations that Trump inflated the value of his assets to obtain loans and insurance policies while undervaluing them for tax purposes. Trump has denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated. The investigations are expected to continue for months, and it is unclear if they will lead to any charges against Trump or his business associates.
