“Anyone in my position not taking the Fifth Amendment would be a fool, an absolute fool,” he said in the session, which was and later released publicly. Trump predicted a “renegade” prosecutor would try to make a criminal case out of his answers, if he gave them.
“One statement or answer that is ever so slightly off, just ever so slightly, by accident, by mistake, such as it was a sunny, beautiful day, when actually it was slightly overcast, would be met by law enforcement at a level seldom seen in this country, because I’ve experienced it,” he said.It is unclear whether Trump might answer any questions in his second deposition, which will be conducted in private if it takes place as planned.
