Earlier this month, the FBI raided Cohen's office, seizing information related to a variety of matters including his $130K payment to pornstar (and alleged former mistress of Donald Trump) Stormy Daniels. Shortly after the occurrence of the raid, the President blasted it as "disgraceful."

This morning, the Commander-in-Chief moreover affirmed that the raid and FBI investigation has "nothing to do with" him.

"I’ve been told I’m not involved," he explained.

Shortly before the President's Fox and Friends interview, Americans learned that Cohen pleaded the Fifth regarding the $130K payment to Stormy Daniels. However, President Trump provided intel pertaining to his involvement, or lack thereof, with Cohen's business dealings:

"Michael is in business. He is really a businessman, a fairly big business as I understand it. I don’t know his business. [He managed a] tiny, tiny little fraction [of my legal business. Like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me and you know, from what I see, he did absolutely nothing wrong."

President Trump has repeatedly maintained that he had no knowledge of or involvement with Cohen's payment to Daniels.
