Stormy Daniels' case should be settled privately: Trump lawyer
All you need to know about pornstar Stormy Daniels and Trump
Cohen's own attorney, Brent Blakely, argued in Monday's filing that the agreement includes a provision that any disputes about it be settled through arbitration, as opposed to open court
United States President Donald Trump and his attorney Michael Cohen have filed court papers on Monday asking a federal judge to demand porn star Stormy Daniels to raise her disputes through private arbitration.
Stormy Daniels who's legal name is Stephanie Clifford, sued Trump last month over the 'hush agreement', which she had signed in October 2016 - right before the presidential elections - for which she was paid US$ 130,000 to keep quiet aout their alleged affair.
Cohen's own attorney, Brent Blakely, argued in Monday's filing that the agreement includes a provision that any disputes about it be settled through arbitration, as opposed to open court.
Meanwhile, Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, insisted that the matter should be settled in open court.
"This is a democracy and this matter should be decided in an open court of law owned by the people," Avenatti added.

Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
Trump and his lawyers have been trying to avoid any comments over this matter, particularly since she said in February that she believed that Cohen had violated the agreement and that she, as a result, was no longer bound by it. Cohen secretly obtained a restraining order late that month to prevent her from speaking.
Moreover, On Monday, America Media Inc. replied to a lawsuit by former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who had reportedly claimed that she had an affair with Trump.
McDougal alleged in her lawsuit that the company, which publishes The National Enquirer, misled her when it made a $150,000 deal to squelch her story, buying the exclusive rights to it during the campaign but never publishing anything.
The company said in a statement Monday that it hoped McDougal would stay on as “a valued contributor” and that it still sought “an amicable resolution” with her.
McDougal's lawyer, Peter K. Stris, wrote on Twitter, “The tabloid went to great lengths to silence her and others, and they are now attempting to silence her again with the absurd claim that their own free speech was violated.”
