The former president was told he could appear before a Manhattan grand jury next week if he wished to testify, the newspaper said.Lawyers who have represented Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Daniels has said she had a sexual liaison with the former president and received US$130,000 before the 2016 presidential election in exchange for not discussing her encounter with Trump, who denies it happened and in 2018 told reporters he knew nothing about a payment to Daniels.
Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination for president again in 2024, is facing multiple legal challenges and investigations, including over his handling of classified documents and his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
