Von Behren</em>, 822 F.3d 1139, 1144 (10th Cir. 2016). "It has long been held that this prohibition not only permits a person to refuse to testify against himself at a criminal trial in which he is a defendant, but also 'privileges him not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings.'" <em>Minnesota v. Murphy</em>, 465 U.S. 420, 426 (1984) (quoting <em>Lefkowitz v. Turley</em>, 414 U.S. 70, 77 (1973)).
