"The lawsuit was a purely political stunt that never should have been started, or allowed to happen," Trump said.
Former President Donald Trump on Monday announced the court ruled in his favor in Stormy Daniels' libel lawsuit against him and she will have to pay him nearly $300,000 as a result.
Trump announced the win on Twitter through his spokeswoman Liz Harrington.
"The 9th Circuit just issued a final ruling in the Stephanie Clifford (aka Stormy Daniels) frivolous lawsuit case against me brought by her disgraced lawyer, Michael Avenatti, upholding the lower court ruling that she owes me nearly $300,000 in attorney fees, costs, and sanctions (not including appeal costs)," Trump wrote.
Daniels filed several lawsuits against the former president and his attorney Michael Cohen in 2018. She claimed in one lawsuit that Trump defamed her in a tweet.
"As I have stated many times throughout the years, I never had an affair with Stormy Daniels, nor would I ever have wanted to. The ruling was a total and complete victory and vindication for, and of me," he said.
"The lawsuit was a purely political stunt that never should have been 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," he said. "Now all I have to do is wait for all of the money she owes me."
The court originally ordered Daniels to pay Trump nearly $300,000 at the end of last year, but Trump said the ruling now is final.
He added in his statement, "P.S. The Fake News probably won't report this story!"
Avenatti was found guilty last month of cheating Daniels out of money from a book deal. He received a two and a half year sentence in July for extorting millions of dollars from Nike.
Though she won’t pay, I gather.
By not paying her to go away as a nuisance, Trump did the right thing. Now others won’t be encouraged to try the same thing.
And the lefty news liars won’t have extra mud to sling at the Orange Man.
I think she was encourage by people who didn’t give a damm about her and who could care less that she didn’t succeed. Used and abused by everyone - including her own rotten attorney.
And she’s suing her lawyer also.
Stormy’s lawsuit case turned out to be a Big Bust!
You have to admire a guy tenacious enough to get a stripper to pay him for sex.
You know, for being accused of being a great big liar, he sure
has put the shoe on the other foot here, and also a number of
other ways over time.
He claimed he was being spied on.
He claimed the election was rigged.
He claimed there would be $7.00 gas under Biden.
He claimed there was a great big swamp!
Can I get in line to help pay his Twitter fees... LMAO
That’s a lot of whoring around to pay all that back. Maybe she can sue Avenatti.
Release the names of the democrats that paid her to lie about Trump.
3,000 hummers at $100 a pop if she’s worth that much.
Good news!
Best. Post. Ever.
Trump always denied it. And besides the photo of him and her, I didn’t see any proof. I think he paid her off not to make the accusation.
Her account of the affair was not credible, and I think there is a good chance it didn’t happen.
I haven't seen any proof of that.
That’s gonna take a lotta lap dances
I also recall him saying under Biden the border would be opened - check - Iran would get nukes, - Biden is seeing to that, and that China would invade Taiwan which I believe in the next 3 years is all but certain.
Stormy sucks.
