Court won't revive porn star's defamation suit against Trump
Source: Omaha World Herald-AP
WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from porn star Stormy Daniels, who sought to revive a defamation lawsuit she filed against former President Donald Trump.
The justices did not comment in leaving in place a lower court ruling dismissing the case.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, alleges she had an affair with Trump in 2006 and was paid $130,000 as part of a nondisclosure agreement days before the 2016 presidential election. She sued him for defamation after he dismissed her claims of being threatened to keep quiet about the tryst as a total con job.
A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit in 2018 and ordered Daniels to pay nearly $300,000 in attorneys fees.

Better to just assume that just because you oppose Trump doesn't mean that you have a legal case.

(25,921 posts)I think people get so hung up on how scummy Trump is that they make the mistake of thinking that anyone who opposes Trump is decent.
