New video shows Trump pleading the Fifth 400 times during Letitia James' deposition

Donald Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 400 times during his deposition with the New York Attorney General's office over the summer.

Newly released video obtained by CBS News shows the former president refused to answer any questions during four hours of questioning on August 10.

Trump answered the first three questions of the deposition with: 'For all of the reasons provided in my answer, which is incorporated herein in its entirety, I decline to answer the question.'

New York Attorney General Letitia James' team told the former president that 'to speed things up,' Trump could respond to the questions with 'same answer.'

The bulk of the reset of the deposition was the voice of the AG senior enforcement counsel Kevin Wallace, who noted for the record that 'obviously, we disagree with a lot of the characterizations' in Trump's statement.

Showing up for the deposition in downtown Manhattan, Trump was wearing a dark blue suit, red tie and American flag lapel pin.

'This whole thing is very unfair,' Trump says in the deposition over the summer. 'Anyone in my position not taking the Fifth Amendment would be a fool, an absolute fool.'

'I respectfully decline to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution,' he added, claiming it was on the advice of his counsel.

'This will be my answer to any further questions,' Trump said.

Trump had to go to New York City over the summer to appear for a deposition in James' civil fraud investigation against the former president.

Appearing on August 10, Trump politely answered the opening questions from James before going into the several-hundred string of refusals to Wallace's inquiries.

Trump answered 'yes' when James asked if he was familiar with the rules for a deposition.

New York Attorney General Letitia James required Trump's deposition in August – and a little over a month later announced a lawsuit against the former president, three of his children and his company for inflating the value of his properties 

Over a month after the deposition on September 21, James announced her office's lawsuit against Trump, three of his children and his company for inflating the value of their properties.

The Trumps have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

Following the deposition in August, Trump issued a public statement saying he exercised his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and not incriminate himself in court.

Despite saying 'same answer,' Trump did appear to weigh the questions posed.

At one point he studied financial documents presented to him by Wallace by leaning forward and crossing his arms before saying, 'same answer.'
