One of the scandals that hit Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign was his alleged affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels, who was then paid to keep quiet about their meetings. Now, a judge has ordered that Trump pay Daniels’ legal fees related to the nondisclosure agreement lawsuit.
The Guardian reports that California judge Robert Broadbelt III, gave the order to Trump that he must pay Daniels’ legal fees amounting to $44,000 in her legal battle about the nondisclosure agreement. Daniels claimed she had an affair with Trump from 2006 to 2007, and Trump has denied the allegation. Over a decade later, Daniels filed a lawsuit against Trump in 2018, demanding to be released from the NDA she was made to sign over a week until the 2016 elections at the time.
The lawsuit was dismissed as the NDA was rendered unenforceable. However, Trump’s lawyers cited that because Daniels did not win the lawsuit, she was not entitled to legal fees. Broadbelt nevertheless, ruled in favor of Daniels under state law. Trump’s lawyers also cited that Daniels did not provide proof that Trump was part of the NDA. Broadbelt noted that there was a lot of evidence showing that the alias David Dennison was the name Cohen chose as a pseudonym for Trump.
Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 to stay silent about her alleged affair with the president. This is not the first time Daniels has attempted to sue the president, but this latest one marks a success. Cohen later pleaded guilty to campaign finance charges as well as lying to Congress. He was sentenced to three years in prison back in 2018.
Meanwhile, Twitter’s battle against misinformation has once again affected Trump. The social media platform flagged a few of Trump’s recent tweets about mail-in voting. Trump repeatedly asserted his claims about mail-in voting encouraging voter fraud despite having voted by mail himself during the state primaries. Trump has also asserted his claim that mail-in voting would ensure that no Republican would win the elections.
Twitter has hidden the misleading tweets behind a disclaimer, citing that Trump’s posts would discourage or dissuade Americans before the November elections. Users cannot engage with the tweet.
