Daniels' lawyer seeks to depose Trump and Trump attorney Michael Cohen about a $130,000 payment made to Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 presidential election.
An attorney for an adult film star claiming a sexual encounter with President Donald Trump is seeking to depose the president and his attorney.
Michael Avenatti filed the motion in federal court in California. In the documents, dated on Wednesday, he seeks to depose Trump and Trump attorney Michael Cohen about a $130,000 payment made to Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 presidential election.
Avenatti wants to question each for "no more than two hours." In the filing, he says the depositions are needed to establish if Trump knew about the payment and if he consented to it.
Cohen has said he paid the $130,000 out of his own pocket, while asserting Trump never had sex with the porn actress.
A hearing is set for April 30.
Earlier, Daniels told "60 Minutes" she and Trump had had sexual relations only once, but that she had seen him on other occasions and he had kept in touch with her.
She said she was not attracted to Trump, who was 60 at the time. Daniels was 27 in 2006.
When asked by Anderson Cooper on CBS's if she had sex with Trump, Daniels responded: "Yes." She was not attracted to Trump and did not want to have sex with him, but: "I didn't say no. I'm not a victim," Daniels said, according to an advance transcript of the interview.
Daniels also said that she was on her way to a fitness class with her child when an unknown man approached her, according to a transcript of the interview released on Sunday.
"And a guy walked up on me and said to me, 'Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.' And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, 'That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom.' And then he was gone," Daniels said.
