President Donald Trump has jumped into the lawsuit filed against him by an adult film actress seeking to void a hush agreement about their relationship, while his longtime attorney is claiming that they have the right to sue her for at least $20 million.

The latest twist comes after the White House initially claimed Trump had nothing to do with Trump Organization lawyer Michael Cohens payment of $130,000 to Stephanie Clifford better known by her stage name, Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 presidential election.

Cohen filed papers Friday to move Cliffords lawsuit from state court in California to a federal court there. Trump, through Beverly Hills lawyer Charles Harder, filed papers indicating that he agrees with Cohen that the matter belongs in federal court.

Mr. Trump intends to pursue his rights to the fullest extent permitted by law, Harder wrote.
