Today, controversial pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli was summoned by Congress to testify in a hearing about drug prices. Shkreli plead the fifth when answering almost all of the hearing's questions—even when it came to discussing Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album he paid millions for. Watch him get asked about the album below at the 3:40 mark.

At one point, a frustrated South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy (the guy who attempted to grill Hillary Clinton over Benghazi, you might remember) said: "We can even talk about the purchase of Wu-Tang Clan—is that the name of the album? The name of the group?"

Shkreli, of course, plead the fifth. Gowdy's response: "I am stunned that a conversation about an album he purchased could possibly subject him to incrimination."

Shkreli separately tweeted: "Hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government."
