TL;DR Summary

Donald Trump spent nearly seven hours answering questions in New York as part of his second deposition in the $250 million business fraud lawsuit against his company by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Legal experts have questioned why he did not invoke the Fifth Amendment to protect himself against self-incrimination. Lawyer and MSNBC legal analyst Katie Phang called it a "colossal mistake" for Trump to testify, while former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti found it "interesting" that Trump did not take the Fifth this time. Trump has been charged with a crime as part of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation into allegations of falsified business records.
