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.
