Donald Trump invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering questions over alleged fraud in his business empire, despite previously suggesting the manoeuvre was itself evidence of criminality.

It comes amid mounting legal pressures on the former US president, who on Wednesday was deposed in a fraud investigation into his family business two days after an unprecedented raid on his Florida home.

Mr Trump has previously ridiculed the use of the Fifth Amendment, which allows individuals to remain silent under questioning to protect against self-incrimination.
