Former Pres. Trump is making headlines after he repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment in a new video released Tue..
What's happening? The New York Attorney General's office on Tue. released video footage of Trump's Aug. 10 deposition.
Trump was deposed last Aug. as a part of New York AG Letitia James's investigation into the Trump Organization. (CNN)
James in Sept. filed a $250M+ lawsuit against Trump for allegedly falsely inflating his worth to obtain loans. (CNN)
During his deposition before James, Trump repeatedly pled the Fifth, refusing to answer questions about his business.
Why is this notable? Trump previously asserted as a presidential candidate that only "the mob takes the Fifth."
Trump defended his use of the Fifth Amendment during his deposition, stating that he would be an "absolute fool" not to.
Trump: "There has never been another president...who has been...unfairly treated like President Donald J. Trump."
James's lawsuit is the result of a two-year investigation that started in wake of Michael Cohen's testimony to Congress.
