When someone claims the 5th amendment rights that means that the person can refuse to answer questions about a possible crime or anything that they believe could incriminate them. Basically, they can't make you testify against yourself if you don't want to. The person in the questions knows something that might incriminate him but he doesn't have to answer because he doesn't want to get in trouble.
