Daniels is locked in a legal battle against Trump and his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. She is seeking to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement that the adult star signed days before the 2016 presidential election.
The 39-year-old revealed that the deal was not valid because the US President "never signed it himself".
Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, came into the limelight after she publicly claimed that she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006.
The US President, however, has denied the allegations. (ANI)
