It's my understanding taking the 5th in a civil case is not the same as a criminal case, it allows interpretation of the question and can be weighed.

NYT: Subpoena Preceded Search Warrant in Push to Retrieve Material From Trump

Quote:
Former President Donald J. Trump received a subpoena this spring in search of documents that federal investigators believed he had failed to turn over earlier in the year, when he returned boxes of material he had improperly taken with him upon moving out of the White House, three people familiar with the matter said.


Quote:
Two people briefed on the classified documents that investigators believe remained at Mar-a-Lago indicated that they were so sensitive in nature, and related to national security, that the Justice Department had to act.


Quote:
Then, they subpoenaed surveillance footage from the club, which could have given officials a glimpse of who was coming in and out of the storage area, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. They received footage specifically from areas of the club where they believed the documents might have been stored, the person said.


Quote:
Federal officials came to believe that Mr. Trump had not relinquished all the material that left the White House with him at the end of his term, according to three people familiar with the investigation.

Less than two months later, about two dozen F.B.I. agents, intentionally not wearing the blue wind breakers emblazoned with the agency’s logo usually worn during searches, appeared at Mar-a-Lago with a warrant.

The club was closed; Mr. Trump was in the New York area; the F.B.I. startled a crew fixing a large fountain, a maid who was dusting and a handful of Secret Service agents who guard the complex.

The search warrant was broad, allowing the agents to investigate all areas of the club where classified materials might have been stored. They went through the basement, Mr. Trump’s office and at least part of his residence at the club.


Quote:
The person said that the F.B.I. left behind a manifest of what was taken, which was two pages long.

Mr. Trump’s team has declined to disclose the contents of the search warrant. A number of organizations, including The New York Times, are seeking in federal court to have it unsealed.

Some senior Republicans have been warned by allies of Mr. Trump not to continue to be aggressive in criticizing the Justice Department and the F.B.I. over the matter because it is possible that more damaging information about Mr. Trump related to the search will eventually become public.

(A new reality for women seeking an abortion in Texas - BBC News)

Quote:
In the aftermath of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion, clinics are shutting down and abortion seekers don't know where to go for help.

Some are turning to crisis pregnancy centres, not knowing that these are anti-abortion.

This is what happened when a woman considering an abortion walked into one of these centres in Texas.

Garland said DOJ will unseal the search warrant and the property collected list. He said he personally approved the search warrant and that the decision wasn't taken lightly. He said all FBI agents acted appropriately and attacks on them are not warranted.
