President Trump’s personal lawyer asked a federal judge to order the porn star who claimed she had a sexual relationship with Trump to settle her dispute over a $130,000 “hush payment” through a private arbitrator.

Attorney Michael Cohen filed papers in federal court in Los Angeles on Monday seeking to force Stormy Daniels to use an arbitrator instead of open court to air her disagreements about the payment made less than two weeks before the 2016 election.

Cohen filed the motion through Essential Consultants, the shell company he created to pay Daniels, who claims she had sex with Trump after meeting him at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe in 2006.

She sued in federal court last month to be released from a nondisclosure agreement she signed in October 2016 to keep quiet about the affair, claiming it was invalid because Trump, identified in the document as David Dennison, never signed it.

The attorney for Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said they would fight to have the hearing​ take place​ in public.

“We will vigorously oppose the just-filed motion by ​DJT and MC to have this case decided in a private arbitration, in a private conf room, hidden from the American public,” ​Michael ​Avenatti wrote on Twitter. “This is a democracy and this matter should be decided in an open court of law owned by the people. #sunlight”
