President Donald Trump’s
personal lawyer Michael
Cohen filed court papers indicating his plan to exercise his
Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination should he be called to testify
in the lawsuit Stephanie Clifford, known as porn star Stormy Daniels, filed
against the president, reported the Huffington Post.
Clifford is suing the president over the validity of a
nondisclosure agreement she signed just before the 2016 presidential election
that barred her from discussing a consensual affair she said she had with Trump
in 2006. Cohen, long known as the president’s “fixer,” also issued a
payment of $130,000 to Clifford that she called “hush money.”
Cohen’s declaration states that in light of the FBI’s
raid on his home, office and hotel room earlier this month, his counsel has
advised him to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights should he be called to testify
in Clifford’s lawsuit.
The FBI reportedly seized
records relating to Cohen’s payment to Daniels.
