The adult-film actress who says she was paid to keep quiet about a sexual relationship with President Donald Trump asked a federal judge for permission to depose Trump and his lawyer, Michael Cohen, as part of an exchange of evidence before a trial.Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, filed the request late Tuesday in federal court in Los Angeles in her lawsuit to void the $130,000 settlement, which she claims isn’t valid because Trump didn’t sign it.
