Brogan lied when IRS agents asked if he had received gifts from a company whose employees were in his union. Brogan was convicted on federal bribery charges and for making a false statement to a federal agency. He appealed, contending that false statements to federal investigators are protected by the Fifth Amendment which holds that a person cannot be forced to testify against himself. Is that argument correct? [Brogan v. U.S., 118 S. Ct. 805
