President Donald Trump and his personal attorney are trying to get a lawsuit by adult film star Stormy Daniels transferred to federal court — and they claim she's on the hook for at least $20 million for violating a secrecy agreement signed just before the election.
An attorney for the actress accused the Trump team of "bullying tactics" for the legal maneuver, which is aimed at pushing the dispute into private arbitration.
"To put it simply, they want to hide the truth from the American people. We will oppose this effort at every turn," said Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford.
Trump attorney Michael Cohen, with the consent of the president, filed a "notice of removal" on Friday that contends Clifford's suit should be moved from California state court to federal court because the parties live in different places and the amount at stake is more than $75,000.
The new paperwork showed that Trump is being represented by Charles Harder, the high-profile attorney who won a $140 million verdict for Hulk Hogan against Gawker and who has also worked for Harvey Weinstein, Jared Kushner and a constellation of Hollywood stars. He also represented Melania Trump in her successful defamation suit against the Daily Mail newspaper.
Cohen and Harder did not respond to requests for comment from NBC News.
Clifford says in her lawsuit that she had an "intimate" relationship with Trump, who was married at the time, in 2006 and 2007. Trump denies the allegation.

Not sure who is advising her, but she should have kept her mouth shut.....
“Tries”? Seems like clear cut diversity jurisdiction to me.
FAKE as her appendages!

A lawsuit to say she made out with someone 12 years ago?
Damn, does this mean everyone I ever fiddled with back in the day can sue me?
And these letters she wrote over the years saying none of this happened, was she lying then or is she lying now?
I do not think anyone cares; people have been saturated with that kind of "news" that belongs in tabloids, do you not agree?
I don't believe they had an affair but even if they did Trump voters knew he was an imperfect man.
Having a real man as president seems novel compared to the last several miscreants that have held the office.
Stormy Daniels = Russia Russia Russia replacement.
It will continue while Q, Sessions, PDJT flush the filth from the Swamp.
The FIU bridge purposeful collapse False flag wasn’t distracting enough...there will be more.
Better a big brain and small tits compared to the other way round.
significant assets ........................ I would refer to it as “high maintenance” not worth my time. I wonder if she can she cook?
Yup, the deep staters are desperate for war with Russia to provide a big distraction and allow them to escape scrutiny....but I think both Putin and Trump know exactly what is going on and will not play the game.. Instead, they will play THEM.
Lucky is the man who has a plain wife who can cook, and who actually loves him.
Great beauty is dangerous for a woman to possess. If it does not go along with great wisdom she will wake up one day and realize the beauty has faded and she has nothing.
I have seen a few women live that scenario and it is heartbreaking...seriously.
Stormy: l’m taking you to court!
Trump: OK, we’ll go to court.
Stormy: Hey! Hey! Stop those bullying tactics!
“Better a big brain and small tits compared to the other way round.”
Yes, the latter can be purchased if so desired. The former, not so much.
One of those things that is impossible to prove either way. Even if she is being truthful, which is highly problematic with all the Soros money floating around, it was twelve years ago, it was consensual by her own admission (as opposed to another president’s activities), it was straight (as opposed to another president’s proclivities) and did not happen in the Oval Office.
Few males can honestly point an accusing finger, and it is only the MSM geldings who have channeled their inner Puritan that they normally sneer at.
Therefore, I don’t care.
If true, it is very sad for Melania. She was pregnant and/or a new mom at that time.
If this were true, Melania would have already known about it.
And just as sad for her if it is not true.
For some women, beauty seems to be a curse.
