He said in the filing that he would assert his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination because of a criminal investigation that led to his New York office, home and hotel room being raided by federal agents. Cohen said federal investigators seized various electronic devices and documents, which he says include information pertaining to a $130,000 payment Cohen made to Daniels to keep her silent about accusations of an affair with Donald Trump. Daniels is suing Cohen and Trump in hopes of being freed from the agreement.
