Several Trump associates are refusing to cooperate with the House investigative panel or have said they will invoke the Fifth Amendment to avoid testifying. Why are they so afraid of Americans learning the truth about the deadly, Trump-incited Capitol riot?
Donald Trump quote about Fifth Amendment resurfaces as allies use it with January 6 panel
Newsweek, Dec 17 2021 1:54 PM
A quote of Donald Trump talking about the Fifth Amendment has resurfaced as his allies use it with the House of Representatives select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection. On the campaign trail in 2016, Trump bashed Hillary Clinton after some members of her staff invoked the amendment during a Congressional investigation. "You see the mob takes the Fifth," he said during one rally in Iowa. "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?" The comment is making the rounds on social media after Roger Stone, a longtime Republican consultant and a former adviser to Trump, pleaded the Fifth at a deposition with the January 6 panel.
