Former President Donald Trump is facing two investigations in New York, with one of them already requesting that he sit down for a deposition in January. According to former US attorney Barbara McQuade, the twice-impeached former president may be cornered into pleading the 5th Amendment in his deposition with investigators.
Speaking in MSNBC over the weekend, McQuade predicted that the former president may be backed into pleading the 5th Amendment when he sits down for a deposition in New York in January. Trump is set to sit down for a deposition as part of an investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James into the value of his properties. The former president also faces the threat of criminal charges being made against him.
“What makes it interesting though, is a pending criminal case that could cause Trump to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights when he is testifying in case there is some concern that the statements he makes at his deposition would later be used against him in the criminal case,” McQuade explained.
“But of course, Donald Trump has famously said, innocent people don’t take the Fifth,” McQuade added.
Host Alex Witt then pressed McQuade if the former president was bound to cite executive privilege claims. McQuade explained that it would not apply to this investigation. However, she noted that she does not “guarantee we won’t hear it.”
Trump has sought to claim executive privilege in his lawsuit against the National Archives in an attempt to block records of his White House from being turned over to the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol insurrection. His attempts to block the Archives have failed so far in the courts.
The former president held an event with former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly over the weekend, which revealed to have a lot of empty seats in the stadium that was hosting the event. The South Florida Sun Sentinel reported that while thousands of supporters came to see the former president and former Fox News anchor, a large portion of the stadium showed empty seats.
The outlet said that the top level of the stadium ended up closing and ticket buyers had their seats upgraded.
