This video presents an overview of the 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination as it pertains to congressional testimony, from how Mike Flynn invoked it to resist a congressional subpoena for documents issued by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence as part of its investigation into Russian interference in our elections, to how it ended up impacting Oliver North's conviction in the 1980s as part of the Iran-Contra affair.
