Adult-film star Stormy Daniels has filed a court motion for US President Donald Trump to testify about her claim that they had a relationship.
Her lawyer wants sworn testimony from Mr. Trump about a “hush” agreement the actress says she signed.
The attorney, Michael Avenatti, is also seeking a legal interview with the president’s lawyer.
Ms. Daniels alleges she had unprotected sex with Mr. Trump in 2006 a year after he married Melania Trump, but he denies it.
According to BBC News, Mr. Avenatti’s motion filed in a court in the Central District of California early today, ramps up the legal duel between the porn star and the president.
Ms. Daniels says she signed an agreement to keep quiet about her claims in exchange for $130,000 of “hush” money in October 2016, days before the presidential election.
In the court documents, Mr. Avenatti said he wanted to take a deposition from Mr. Trump and his lawyer, Michael Cohen, for no more than two hours each.
