trump-case.html

Porn star Stormy Daniels is on the hook to pay former President Donald 
Trump nearly $300,000 in attorneys’ fees after a federal appeals court 
rejected her bid to overturn a lower court decision in her failed 
defamation lawsuit against him.

Friday’s ruling, which Trump bragged about in a statement issued Monday 
night, likely puts to bed a yearslong legal feud between Daniels and the 
ex-president related to her claim that they had sex one time in 2006.

That feud has featured both of their former lawyers being convicted of 
felonies that were connected to the effects of her claim. Trump denies 
having had sex with the adult film actress.

“I will go to jail before I pay a penny,” Daniels tweeted Monday.

Daniels on Tuesday, in a lengthy statement posted on Twitter, said Trump 
had won the case “on a technicality” because her then-lawyer, Michael 
Avenatti, failed to promptly file a notice of appeal in her defamation 
suit.

In its decision Friday, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 9th 
Circuit said it had no jurisdiction over Daniels’ appeal of the attorneys’ 
fees issue because she had failed to file a notice of appeal within a 30-
day deadline of a federal judge granting the fees to Trump.

The appeals court also said that the same judge had properly included 
another $1,000 in sanctions against Daniels in the same judgment that 
awarded Trump attorneys’ fees.

The amount Daniels owes Trump in the case is about the same amount she was 
swindled out of by Avenatti several years ago.

Avenatti was convicted in Manhattan federal court last month of defrauding 
her out of money she was owed in a book deal to write about her experience 
with Trump. He is due to be sentenced on June 2.

Friday’s ruling against Daniels came a week after a Manhattan federal 
court judge rejected Trump’s effort to countersue writer E. Jean Carroll, 
who in a pending lawsuit accused him of defaming her by claiming she was 
lying and motivated by money when she accused Trump of having raped her 
years ago in a New York City department store.

Trump on Monday called the 9th Circuit’s ruling for him “a total and 
complete victory and vindication for, and of me,” and reiterated his claim 
not to have had sex with Daniels.

“The lawsuit was a purely political stunt that never should have started, 
or allowed to happen, and I am pleased that my lawyers were able to bring 
it to a successful conclusion after the court fully rejected her appeal,” 
Trump said. “Now all I have to do is wait for all of the money she owes 
me.”

“P.S. The Fake News probably won’t report this story!” he added.

But Daniels, who recently has been involved in developing a paranormal 
investigative show entitled “Spooky Babes,” on Tuesday said in her 
statement that “although distressing,” her loss of the case “does not 
reflect on anything I have done or my credibility, but is the result of 
negligence of a criminal lawyer, Michael Avenatti.”

Daniels referred to Trump’s bragging in the notorious 2005 “Access 
Hollywood” tape about being able to grab women by the genitals without 
their consent, and getting away with it because of his celebrity status.

“It is a sad reality that in this country, a known and proven predator can 
openly brag about assaulting women and become president and be awarded 
money for his bad behavior,” Daniels said.

“My heart goes out to the others who have been victimized by Trump. I 
deeply regret not standing up for myself that night and for not speaking 
out sooner. I hope that one day the women who came after me can forgive 
me.”

The case has its origins in the fall of 2016, when Trump was the 
Republican nominee for president, and his then-personal lawyer Michael 
Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 in exchange for her agreement to keep quiet 
about her claim of having had sex with Trump.

When Cohen later pleaded guilty to federal crimes, which included campaign 
finance violations related to the payment, he said he paid Daniels the 
money at Trump’s direction.

Cohen also admitted facilitating another hush money payment by the 
publisher of The National Enquirer to a second woman, who said she had a 
sexual affair with Trump. The former president also has denied that claim.

Daniels sued Trump when he was president in 2018, seeking to void the 
nondisclosure agreement with Cohen. While Trump later agreed not to 
enforce the agreement, a judge in 2020 ordered him to pay Daniels more 
than $44,000 for her legal fees in that case.

Later in 2018, Daniels sued Trump again, claiming he defamed her when, in 
a Twitter post, he scoffed at a police sketch artist drawing of a man who 
Daniels said had threatened her in 2011 over her allegation of having had 
sex with Trump.

Trump called the sketch a “con job” about a “nonexistent man.”

A federal judge dismissed that lawsuit later in 2018, saying Trump’s 
statements were protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution.

He also ordered Daniels to pay Trump’s attorneys’ fees in the case and 
sanctions.

The U.S. Supreme Court in February 2021 rejected Daniels’ effort to appeal 
the decision.

But Daniels had pressed an appeal on the issue of the money she owed Trump 
with the 9th Circuit.
