Alan Dershowitz, a former attorney for Donald Trump, said that he was shocked after the former president invoked the Fifth Amendment at least 440 times during a deposition on Wednesday.
During an interview with Newsmax, Dershowitz spoke about Trump's refusal to answer questions about alleged financial fraud.
"The Fifth Amendment, I'm surprised that Trump invoked the Fifth Amendment because, generally, you can give him immunity and then make him talk and basically this is a public issue," the longtime lawyer explained. "His lawyers may have had a good reason for invoking the Fifth. I don't understand it."
"I never invoke the Fifth Amendment on behalf of my clients, particularly clients, obviously, who have nothing to hide," he added. "So it was a surprise to me. Maybe there's a good reason for it but I don't understand it."

"only criminals take the 5th" - donald trump
Only thugs and mobsters.

Alan is another reich wing pedo protector.
Butt, it is ok when donald does it. After all, they are trying to frame him...s/
a frame 2.5x7x2.5...
I took the 5th because I can’t keep track of all my lies….DJT
I'm impressed someone got Donald to not talk.
ivanka probably threatened to cut him off...
It's a miracle!!
What, no defenders of DJT on here?
They haven't as of yet finished reading new directions from Rupert Murdoch.
Or Alex Jones.
Well in lieu of that, here is the cliché defense: Nothing has been proven so Trump is innocent.
Bingo.
the DOJ always executes search warrants on the innocent...
He refused to answer because his answers would tend to incriminate him. It's that simple. He has a lot to hide.
Fock Alan Dershowitz. His reputation is shot to hell. Everything Trump Touches Dies, as the book title said.
Dershowitz was giving a little "out of court" evidence to infuence all that in his opinion Trump is totally innocent. I used to respect Dershowitz - I was as stupid as that.
Well of course you understand it, just refer to what you just said (in red).
Bizarre.
