Q: "Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?"
A (Epstein): "What do you mean by “personal relationship,” sir?"
Q: "Have you socialized with him?"
A (Epstein): "Yes, sir."
Q: "Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?"
A (Epstein): “Though I’d like to answer that question, at least today I’m going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.”
Just the 5th Amendment wasn't enough for this question.

The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees specific rights to individuals accused of crimes, focusing on ensuring a fair trial. It states:
“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.”
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, is one of the most important amendments. It addresses citizenship, equal protection, and due process. It has five sections, but the most frequently cited are in Section 1.
Core Provisions of the 14th Amendment:
1. Citizenship Clause
Grants U.S. citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States.
This overturned the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision, which had denied citizenship to African Americans.
2. Due Process Clause
Prohibits states from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
Basis for applying most of the Bill of Rights to state governments (incorporation doctrine).
3. Equal Protection Clause
Requires states to provide equal protection under the law to all people.
Key foundation for civil rights cases, including Brown v. Board of Education (school desegregation) and modern anti-discrimination rulings.

ChatGPT:
Do you want me to show how this tactic (invoking multiple amendments) has been used
by other high-profile witnesses — like organized crime figures or corporate executives —
to avoid answering damaging questions?
Q: Were those organized crime figures invoking multiple amendments, when they were asked questions about dangerous criminals, higher up in the crime organization?
A: Yes — there is a pattern of witnesses in organized crime investigations invoking multiple constitutional amendments when refusing to answer questions, particularly when those questions involve higher-ranking figures (bosses or “untouchables”) in the organization.
