Daniels sued Cohen for defamation based on comments he made suggesting Daniels lied about an alleged affair with Trump.

“Michael Cohen can take the Fifth Amendment,” Wine-Banks said. “But the President of the United States cannot say, ‘I can’t answer questions because they might incriminate me in another matter.’ That just is not politically acceptable.”

Wine-Banks said she thinks its possible Trump might plead the fifth but argued it “would be complete chaos in the Congress if the president said, ‘I’m not answering questions because they would incriminate me.’”
