President Donald Trump sought to distance himself from his embattled personal attorney, saying Michael Cohen handled a fraction of his legal work and a federal raid on his home and business had nothing to do with him.

"I don't know his business, but this doesn't have to do with me," Trump said in a call-in interview with Fox's program "Fox & Friends" on Thursday. "They're looking into something having to to do with his business. I have nothing to do with his business."

Cohen said Wednesday that he plans to assert his constitutional right against self-incrimination in a lawsuit by Stephanie Clifford, the adult film star known as Stormy Daniels, who claims she had an extramarital affair with Trump before he took office.
