Trump declined to answer questions in NY Attorney’s probe of business practices

Washington: Former US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he declined to answer questions in the New York Attorney General’s probe into his business practices.
“Under the advice of my counsel and for all of the above reasons, I declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution,” Trump said in a statement.
Trump added that he “did nothing wrong” and that is why neither federal nor state or local governments have found anything on him after five years of searching.
Earlier in the day, Trump arrived at the New York attorney general’s office in Manhattan to be questioned under oath as part of a civil investigation into his family’s business practices. (UNI/SPUTNIK)
