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. He denies it.
Mr Avenatti's motion, filed in a court in the Central District of California early on Wednesday, 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 (£91,000) 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.

The lawyer said his aim was to establish if the president consented to the agreement, reports the Washington Post newspaper.
A deposition is out-of-court testimony by a witness - who commits to tell the truth on possible penalty of perjury - that may be used in a legal case.
More than 22 million Americans tuned in on Sunday night to hear Ms Daniels allege she was threatened by a stranger in a car park in 2011 to "leave Trump alone".
The exclusive reaped the highest ratings for CBS' 60 Minutes programme in a decade.
On Monday, Ms Daniels filed a lawsuit against the president, alleging the non-disclosure agreement was invalid because Mr Trump did not sign it.
She also sued Mr Trump's lawyer, arguing he defamed her by suggesting she was a liar.
While Mr Trump has denied her claims, his lawyers are seeking $20m in damages from Ms Daniels, arguing she broke the non-disclosure deal.
She has meanwhile reportedly extended her nationwide tour of strip clubs, Making America Horny Again, until November.
Ms Daniels is due to appear for two nights at a strip club in Washington DC in June.
She has also been touting a $14.99-per-month subscription to her naked web cam service.
Spaghetti With Fried Eggs Yield: 2or3 servings Time : 20 minutes Here's a quick and delicious pasta dish to make when you have little time, and even less food in the house. All you need is a box of spaghetti, four eggs, olive oil and garlic (Parmesan is a delicious, but optional, addition). INGREDIENTS Salt ½ pound thin spaghetti 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or lard 2 large cloves garlic, lightly smashed and peeled 4 eggs Freshly ground black pepper Freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese, optional PREPARATIONS STEP 1 Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Start the sauce in the next step, and start cooking the pasta when the water boils. STEP 2 Combine garlic and 4 tablespoons of the oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic, pressing it into the oil occasionally to release its flavor; it should barely color on both sides. Remove the garlic, and add the remaining oil. STEP 3 Fry the eggs gently in the...
Baked Buffalo Wings Yield : 4 Serving Time: 35 minutes For chicken wings that come out of the oven as crisp and tender as their fried counterparts, coat the wings in salt and baking powder. The combination promotes even browning, crackly-crisp skin and moist, tender meat. (Do this for roast chicken, too!) Then, cook them directly under the high heat of the broiler, which renders fat and fuses the spicy buttery sauce to each wing. You can buy any combination of meaty drumettes, wingettes (flats) or wing tips, or buy whole wings and break them down yourself, cutting at the joints to separate each wing into three pieces. Looking for a vegetarian version — or simply to add some vegetables to your spread? INGREDIENTS FOR THE BLUE CHEESE DIP: 3 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup) ¼ cup mayonnaise ¼ cup sour cream 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar 1 to 3 tablespoons milk or buttermilk, or to taste K...
Braised Chicken With Salami and Olives Yield : 4 to 6 servings Time 2 1/2 hour Donald Link pays homage to New Orleans’ Sicilian roots with a dish that also appeals to his love of both salt and salami. The dish has the feel of chicken cacciatore, but its use of olives, salami and fennel brings more complexity. Mr. Link uses handmade salami from Cochon Butcher, his meat shop in New Orleans, but a hunk of good quality supermarket salami works fine. Jarred green olives would suffice in a pinch but they will make the dish extra salty and compromise its texture. Instead, find firm green olives such as Sicilian-cured Sevillanos or French Lucques or Picholine olives. INGREDIENTS 1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) chicken, cut into 10 pieces 2 teaspoons kosher salt ¾ teaspoon black pepper 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced ½ fennel bulb, thinly sliced 1 rosemary branch, about 8 inches ...
