On October 16, 2018, president Donald Trump tweeted “Federal Judge throws out Stormy Danials lawsuit versus Trump. Trump is entitled to full legal fees.” @FoxNews Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas. She will confirm the letter she signed! She knows nothing about me, a total con!”
That was in response to a federal judge dismissing a lawsuit that porn star Stormy Daniels filed against the president for defamation. The lawsuit originally stems from an even earlier tweet in which Trump suggested that Daniels was lying about her claims of being threatened in 2011 after wanting to go public about an alleged affair with him.
Shortly after posting a forensic sketch of the man who threatened her, Trump proposed the idea that it was actually Daniel’s ex-husband. He’d tweet, “A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!”
On Tuesday, a judge ruled that Daniels must now pay the president $293,000 in legal fees. Trump’s attorneys originally set out to receive close to $390,000 but appear to be playing off the ruling as a win.
“The U.S. District Court today ordered Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford) to pay President Trump $292,052.33 to reimburse his attorneys’ fees (75% of his total legal bill), plus an additional $1,000 in sanctions to punish Daniels for having filed a meritless lawsuit against the President designed to chill his free speech rights,” Charles J. Harder, the president’s legal counsel, said in a statement.
“The court’s order,” Harder said, “along with the court’s prior order dismissing Stormy Daniels’ defamation case against the President, together constitute a total victory for the President, and a total defeat for Stormy Daniels in this case.”
