An attorney who was responsible for negotiating Donald Trump's hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels clashed with one of the former president's attorneys on Thursday.

During the cross-examination of attorney Keith Davidson, Trump's lawyer Emil Bove suggested that there was a history of the witnesses making money off of celebrities.

Bove grilled Davidson on his involvement in settlements with Charlie Sheen, Lindsey Lohan, and Tila Tequlia.

Davidson said he could not recall all of his 1,500 clients. Trump's attorney accused the witness of having a "fuzzy memory."

"You extracted money from Charlie Sheen, right?" Bove asked. "What about [adult film actress] Capri Anderson?"

"There's no extraction," Davidson replied.

"Look, we're both lawyers,"Bove shot back. "I'm not here to play lawyer games with you."

Bove insisted he was seeking "truthful answers."

"I am giving you truthful answers, sir," Davidson replied with disdain. "If you're not here to play legal games, don't say the word 'extract.'"
