A lawyer for adult film actress Stormy Daniels has requested in federal court to take deposition from President Donald Trump in a legal battle over an agreement to keep her quiet about an intimate relationship she says they had, according to court documents.
Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, also requested to take a deposition from Mr Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen, whom Ms Daniels issuing for defamation, a motion filed in United States District Court in the Central District of California showed.
Mr Avenatti said in the motion that he would need no more than two hours to question each of the men.
Ms Daniels originally sued Mr Trump on 6 March, saying he had never put his signature on an agreement for her to stay silent about what she called their "intimate" relationship.
Mr Trump has denied having an affair with Ms Daniels.
On Monday, an amended lawsuit claimed that Mr Cohen had defamed Ms Daniels after her widely watched TV interview on '60 Minutes' on CBS.
