Can't be compelled. They can rat each other out if they want, and the court has carved out a few additional exceptions.

Testimony can't be compelled but it can still be made.

With Precedent from the Bill Cosby case, anything is now possible.

The courts forced Cosby’s wife to testify. New York courts too.
