BUH-BYE! Trump Refused To Answer A Single Deposition Question, Claims He Did ‘Nothing Wrong’

Published on

And just like that, AG Tish James’s claim to fame burst into political flames as former President Donald Trump pleaded the 5th and refused to answer a single question during another ‘Witch Hunt’ deposition in NYC Wednesday morning.

According to the NY Post, the former President said Wednesday that he refused to answer questions from New York prosecutors — led by State Attorney General Letitia James — about his resort and real estate businesses.

“I declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution,” Trump said in a statement, referring to the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

“I once asked, ‘If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?’” Trump said. “Now I know the answer to that question. 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 says her office has evidence that Trump’s company used “fraudulent or misleading” valuations of its buildings, golf clubs and other assets to obtain loans and tax breaks.

Eric Trump, the former president’s son and a Trump Organization executive, defended his father on Truth Social.

“As my father sits for a deposition in front of the most corrupt New York Attorney General in the United States (Letitia James), I want to remind all (sic) Americans EXACTLY who this evil woman is,” he seethed.

“The weaponization of the legal system – everything you are seeing – it is all a coordinated effort to stop what they know will happen in 2024.”

Reps for the AG did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The deposition follows years of delays, lawsuits, and appeals in connection to the investigation — launched in 2019 based on the sworn testimony of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.

James recently postponed depositions for Trump and his adult children following the July passing of Ivana Trump. Ivanka and Donald Jr. have since been deposed.

The Trump Organization’s finances are also the subject of a probe conducted by Manhattan prosecutors according to the NY Post.
