Former President Trump said Wednesday that he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and refused to answer any questions from New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) during a deposition for her office's civil investigation into his business' financial dealings.
Why it matters: The deposition comes as Trump has faced a new level of legal scrutiny and just days after the FBI executed a search warrant at the former president's Mar-a-Lago residence in an unrelated investigation.
