Ex-president pleads the fifth two days after the FBI raided his Florida home, seeking classified documents

“My great company, and myself, are being attacked from all sides,” Trump also posted, adding: “Banana Republic!”

At the heart of the case are claims that Trump has for decades falsely inflated his fortune – a dance that involves publicity, maximizing access to bank loans and minimizing tax obligations. “I look better if I’m worth $10bn than if I’m worth $4bn,” he once said.
