The former President of the United States said hundreds of thousands of dollars had been spent on this investigation over the years. He also said, “I refused to answer any question under the rights and privileges of every citizen according to the Constitution of the United States.” New York Attorney General Letitia James said the interview was conducted in the United States on Wednesday. He said their investigation will continue.
Mr. Trump refused to answer questions just days after the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided Trump’s residence. In addition to the Attorney General’s Office investigation, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is also investigating. He will use the Fifth Amendment as a weapon in not answering questions from the investigative team. The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right to remain silent in self-defense. However, Mr. Trump’s criminal investigation will continue in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and the Attorney General’s Office trial.
