IANAL, but,There are only specific circumstances where you can be compelled to answer, you can invoke a right to silence. This is often interpreted as refusing to answer all questions, including as to your identity. If you answer any questions to the court you can be considered to have waived it.Pleading the 5th is regarding self incrimination, so while not legally an admission of guilt, is effectively an admission that something crimey might have happened.The Executive Privilege argument is just fuzzy. There are rules for keeping Secrets, but there are Secret Courts to deal with them. The idea that the President is not subject to the law is, novel, I think is the terminology. The idea that because you worked for the President that you are forbidden from following the courts direction is probably not going to fly even at SCOTUS. You can argue that the answers contain National Security info and that no-one without TS:CI can know it, but there is a process to handle that too.
