When Jones tried to argue that he believed he was telling the truth, [Judge] Gamble clarified the difference between an alternative reality media world and a court of law. In the law, she told him, truth was actually a real thing.
“You believe everything you say is true, but it isn’t,” she pointedly told him. “Just because you claim to think something is true does not make it true. It does not protect you. It is not allowed. You’re under oath.” (Source)
I would pay good money to see Trump testify under oath about his involvement on J6 and his financial relationship with the Russian.
Update 8/10/22: From then NYT this morning:
Donald J. Trump declined to answer questions from the New York state attorney general’s office on Wednesday, a surprising gamble in a high-stakes legal interview that is likely to determine the course of a civil investigation into his company’s business practices.
In a statement released shortly after the questioning began on Wednesday, Mr. Trump said he would invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, explaining that he “declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution.”
After the deposition began, two sources with knowledge of the matter confirmed that he was refusing to answer questions, citing the Fifth Amendment.
First opportunity to claim the 5th of many more to come. I hope we see the video at some point.
