Contempt and the Fifth Amendment Rights
Dejemos una cosa clara.
Usted no tiene ningún derecho bajo la Quinta Enmienda
porque ha sido indultado, como usted muy bien sabe.
Como la Corte Suprema ha dejado claro durante más de un siglo,
Brown contra Walker, 1896,
cuando ha sido indultado, no puede acogerse a su privilegio.
Usted lo sabe.
Sus abogados sentados detrás de usted ahora moviéndose nerviosos en sus sillas,
ellos lo saben.
Esto no se trata de la Constitución.
Esto no se trata de la ley. Se trata de desacato.
Desacato a este organismo y desacato al pueblo estadounidense.
Pero creo que sé por qué lo hace.
Es porque no quiere responder a las preguntas.
Es porque hizo todo tipo de cosas terribles. Es
porque durante la pandemia, se hizo rico, ¿no?
Se enriqueció mientras la gente moría, cientos de miles de estadounidenses,
más de un millón al final, y usted se estaba enriqueciendo.
Y no solo estaba haciendo eso,
sino que usaba a empleados federales con dinero de los contribuyentes para solicitar y postular a premios en efectivo para usted personalmente.
Premios en efectivo que sumaban más de un millón de dólares.
Hizo todo eso durante la pandemia, ¿no es así?
Esa es una pregunta.
Por consejo de mi abogado, me niego respetuosamente a responder basándome en mis derechos bajo la Quinta Enmienda de la Constitución.

Original transcript (English)
Let's just get one thing straight. You don't have any rights under the Fifth Amendment because you've been pardoned, as you very well know. As the Supreme Court has been clear for a century and more, Brown v. Walker, 1896,
when he has been pardoned, he may not stand upon his privilege. You know that. Your lawyers sitting behind you now shifting nervously in their chairs, they know it. This isn't about the Constitution.
This isn't about the law. This is about contempt. Contempt for this body and contempt for the American people. But I think I know why you're doing it. It's because you don't want to answer questions. It's because you did all kinds of terrible things. It's
because during the pandemic, you got rich, didn't you? You got rich while people were dying, hundreds of thousands of Americans, over a million in the end, and you were getting rich. And not only were you doing that, you were using federal employees with taxpayer money to apply for and solicit cash prizes for you personally.
Cash prizes totaling over a million dollars. You did all of that during the pandemic, didn't you? That's a question. On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
