Teamsters President Jackie Presser invoked the Fifth Amendment 15 times today in an appearance before the President’s Commission on Organized Crime, refusing to answer questions about violence, his leadership and policies of the nation’s largest union.

Presser, head of the 1.4-million-member union, told commissioners he would not answer questions because an indictment has been recommended against him by the Justice Department’s Cleveland strike force.
