A lawyer for Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, argued in a court document filed earlier this month that his client could not get a fair trial from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Feffer, saying she was seeking a federal judgeship.

Bloomberg reported Tuesday that the case has been moved to the docket of Judge Howard Halm, who set a hearing date for July 12 at the Los Angeles court. Halm, like Feffer, was appointed by former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R).

Clifford filed her lawsuit March 6 to scrap the nondisclosure agreement keeping her from sharing details of the alleged affair with Trump. She has claimed the deal is void because he never signed the document.

Trump's longtime lawyer Michael Cohen reportedly paid the actress $130,000 in "hush money" a month before the 2016 election, a maneuver that legal experts say could have also violated federal campaign law, something the lawyer has denied.

Clifford's attorney said earlier this week that Trump missed a deadline to accept her offer to repay the money in exchange for her being able to speak freely about her relationship with Trump in 2006, a year after he married first lady Melania Trump Melania TrumpMelania Trump: Ginsburg's 'spirit will live on in all she has inspired' The Hill's 12:30 Report - Presented by Facebook - You might want to download TikTok now Warning label added to Trump tweet over potential mail-in voting disinformation MORE.
