Carter Page spent seven hours pleading the Fifth and refusing to hand over documents to House intel committeeNoor Al-Sibai 02 NOV 2017 AT 18:52 ET
Ex-Trump adviser Carter Page said in October that he intended to plead the Fifth Amendment when interviewed in the various Russia investigations. Now, after seven hours in front of the House Intelligence Committee, hes made good on that promise.
According to lawmakers that spoke to Politico, Page utilized his Fifth Amendment rights when asked why hes withholding documents they requested from him in their Russia probe.
