US President Donald Trump said Thursday that his lawyer, Michael Cohen, who faces legal trouble in Sturmie Daniels' case, has already represented him in this case, which prompted Cohen to pay $ 130,000 to the porn actress just days before the 2016 presidential election."He represents me, and he is like me in Sturmie Daniels," Trump said in a Fox News morning interview.
In the context of this dispute, Michael Cohen on Wednesday spoke before the court of his right not to criminalize himself by resorting to the Fifth Amendment, which allows citizens not to testify.
The White House has previously tried to downplay Cohen's position at Trump, asserting that this old friend of the president is only a lawyer among others.
Trump has always said he was not aware of what his lawyer had done, denying a sexual relationship with Sturmie Daniels.
