Why Stormy Daniels Was Just Ordered to Pay Donald Trump $122K

Adult film star Stormy Daniels was in the news quite a bit this week, especially on Tuesday, as former President Donald Trump was formally processed and arraigned in a Manhattan courthouse on 34 charges related to allegedly improper hush money payments to Daniels and another woman during the 2016 presidential campaign.

But, in something of a strange twist of fate, Tuesday also put Daniels' name — legally Stephanie Clifford — in the news when the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Daniels and ordered her to reimburse Trump for $121,972.56 worth of legal fees.

The 9th Circuit's order explains:

Under the Texas Citizens Participation Act (TCPA), Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 27.009(a)(1), attorneys' fees in the amount of $121,972.56 are awarded in favor of appellee Donald J. Trump and against appellant Stephanie Clifford.

The legal fees owed to Trump were, according to the court filing, incurred by lawyers at Harder LLP and Dhillon Law Group in defense of the former president against unsuccessful litigation brought by Stormy Daniels.

RNC Committeewoman and freedom-loving lawyer Harmeet Dhillon — part of President Trump's cadre of legal defenders — celebrated the 9th Circuit's decision and noted that her law firm had now secured more than half a million dollars in such awards for Trump in the "meritless litigation initiated by Stormy Daniels."

$121,972.56

That’s a fair amount of getting things rammed into places in her line of work.

Can she go to jail if she refuses to pay, as she has said?

Publicity whore. As well as the other kind. The less attention paid to her the better.

I believe she still owes him an additional $300,000.

This is un-American!

Stormy Daniels never had the opportunity to prove her innocence!

"Can she go to jail if she refuses to pay, as she has said?"

Did Al Sharpton ever go to jail for tax evasion? Charlie Rangel for failing to report rental income on his Dominican Republic villa? The Clinton's for their role in the failure of Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan?

I watched the little $hit on ABC news this evening just to see what crap they would spew. Anyone actually in the news business would have mentioned this actual news but they didn’t.

I don’t think she can go to jail over it, but if she has any assets like a house or car those can be seized

IIRC Biden’s *other* brother, Frank, has a long standing $1M judgement against him on which he’s paid zilch. Like Al Sharpton he pretends to have no legal income, yet manages to live fine. That’s why all the graft is routed through James, Hunter, and other family members. If any were officially routed through Frank it could be attached. But if Hunter pays in kind support for his ‘poor’ uncle it can’t be touched. Something similar could be done for Stormy.
