A court filing shows Donald Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen will assert 5th amendment rights in all proceedings of the ongoing Stormy Daniels case.

You'll recall in September of 2016 during the presidential campaign, Donald Trump told a campaign crowd in Iowa, "The mob takes the Fifth. If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"

Michael Cohen said he will assert his constitutional right against self-incrimination in the lawsuit by Stormy Daniels because of the ongoing criminal investigation against him.

Trump loves the 5th Amendment.
