However, when asked about this, Trump referred to the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and said: "I declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution." These new developments are happening during an already stressful week for Trump. It began with the FBI searching for Trump's Florida residence, the Mar-a-Lago estate.

New York State judge rules the criminal case against the Trump Organization and former CFO Allen Weisselberg can proceed. However, it was only the beginning and the situation got more tense when an appellate court allowed Congress to inspect his tax returns.

It has been agreed by the Manhattan DA’s office as well. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Prem Deshpande × Feedback Thank You!
