Abstract

According to the Walters court, several government officials with "key roles" in the crisis gave "detailed deposition testimony" in the civil case without invoking their Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Testifying at a discovery deposition does not stop a witness from later invoking his or her Fifth Amendment privileges and refusing to testify at trial. [Extracted from the article]
