New York state mounts criminal probe of Trump Organization finances

Interest. My understanding was taking the fifth meant not saying anything that may implicate you in a crime (but not necessarily meaning you are guilty) . So I can understand how "So do you have a good working relationship with Mr. Weisselberg" can have someone plead the fifth.
But how does "What is your favourite ice cream?" or "Lovely weather we're having, isn't it?" fit in since these are personal preference questions that can neither be right or wrong?
 
The key words are "ANYTHING YOU SAY". If you are afraid you might slip up talking about ice cream or the weather and reveal something, best not to answer the question.

The only thing more corrupt and abusive than a good defense attorney is a good district attorney.
