Judge throws out Porn Star Stormy Daniels’s Defamation Lawsuit Against President Trump

STRIKE ONE, CPL AND STORMY DANIELS LOSE DEFAMATION CASE AGAINST TRUMP …

As it turns out, presidents have First Amendment rights too. On Monday U.S. District Judge S. James Otero dismissed a defamation lawsuit from adult-film actress Stormy Daniels and her CPL that claimed President Donald Trump defamed her when he suggested she had lied about being threatened to keep quiet about their alleged relationship. The judge also ordered that Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is also liable for Trump’s legal fees.

A federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit from adult-film actress Stormy Daniels that claimed President Trump defamed her when he suggested she had lied about being threatened to keep quiet about their alleged relationship.

U.S. District Judge S. James Otero in Los Angeles ruled that Trump’s speech was protected by the First Amendment as the kind of “rhetorical hyperbole” normally associated with politics and public discourse in the United States.” He ordered Daniels, whose given name is Stephanie Clifford, to pay Trump’s legal fees.

Trump attorney Charles Harder cheered Otero’s decision.

“No amount of spin or commentary by Stormy Daniels or her lawyer, Mr. Avenatti, can truthfully characterize today’s ruling in any way other than total victory for President Trump and total defeat for Stormy Daniels,” Harder said in an emailed statement.

Great advice given to Daniels by her attorney to sue. CPL, Avenatti announced that they will appeal the case with the Ninth Circuit court. Great, adding more court fees to his client when she ultimately loses because free speech is free speech.

UPDATE I: Trump calls Stormy Daniels ‘Horseface’

Not sure I would have done this, but it is pure Donald Trump.

President Trump on Tuesday called adult-film star Stormy Daniels “Horseface” and threatened to “go after” her after he won a court victory over his alleged mistress.

“’Federal Judge throws out Stormy Danials [sic] 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!’ he tweeted.
