    Donald Trump took the Fifth in August, as part of a New York
    investigation into his allegedly fraudulent business practices.

    Eric Trump, in this same civil case, reportedly invoked the Fifth
    Amendment in response to more than 500 questions.

    Roger Stone, a longtime Trump adviser and GOP operative, said two weeks
    later that he also took the Fifth.

    Alex Jones, by his own admission, invoked the Fifth nearly 100 times
    when the professional conspiracy theorist sat down with congressional investigators.

    Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official, also took the
    Fifth, reportedly more than 100 times.

    Michael Flynn, the beneficiary of a Trump pardon despite having
    previously pleaded guilty to felonies, took the Fifth in response to investigators’ questions in March.

    John Eastman, a Republican lawyer who allegedly played a leading role in
    the overall coup scheme, reportedly invoked the Fifth with both the Jan.
    6 committee and a Georgia special grand jury.

    Kelli Ward, the Arizona Republican Party chair, also asserted her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to avoid answering the Jan. 6 committee’s questions.

    “The mob takes the Fifth Amendment,” Donald Trump said in 2016, deriding those who assert their right against self-incrimination. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”

    The relevance of the quote still lingers.
