Stormy Daniels ordered to pay Donald Trump’s attorneys

New York: A federal judge in California has ordered pornstar Stormy Daniels to pay nearly $300,000 in fees, costs and sanctions to the lawyers representing President Donald Trump in the defamation suit she brought against Trump earlier this year. Trump’s attorney, Charles Harder, had asked for a total of nearly $780,000 from the adult film actress — $389,000 in attorney fees and another $389,000 in sanctions in a hearing last week, CNN reported. In a statement, Harder called Tuesday’s ruling “a total victory for the President”. The defamation suit — separate from the original lawsuit about the non-disclosure agreement Daniels signed with former Trump attorney Michael Cohen — was brought earlier this year after the President called an allegation by Daniels that an unknown man threatened her in a parking lot to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump a “total con job” in a tweet.
