“The likelihood of us being able to place this president under oath I think has gone up exponentially,” Avenatti said on CBS’s “Face the Nation”

Avenatti represents Daniels, an adult-film star whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, in her lawsuit to void a nondisclosure agreement over an alleged 2006 affair with Trump. Daniels is also suing Trump and his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, for defamation.

Trump last month denied knowing that Cohen had paid Daniels $130,000 in October 2016 as part of the nondisclosure agreement.

However, the president acknowledged last week that he had paid Cohen a monthly retainer that was used to cover the payment to Daniels.

The White House has in recent days sought to clarify Trump’s initial denial.

Avenatti said Sunday that comments from Trump, Cohen and presidential attorney Rudy Giuliani will only help his client’s case.

“The more they talk the better our case gets,” he said. “They can’t keep their stories straight. They can’t keep their lies straight.”
