Trump seeks more than $300,000 in legal fees from Stormy Daniels after defamation suit tossedWashington Examiner, Oct 29, 2018
President Trump wants more than $300,000 in legal fees from porn star Stormy Daniels, after a federal judge dismissed her defamation lawsuit against the president and determined he was entitled to attorney fees.
In a court filing on Monday, Trump’s attorneys said they are seeking $341,559.50 in attorney’s fees from Daniels, who has been involved in a legal battle with Trump since the beginning of this year due to an alleged extramarital affair. She filed a separate defamation lawsuit against Trump in the spring for suggesting she lied.
The filing claims that Daniels “filed this action, not because it had any merit, but instead for the ulterior purposes of raising her media profile, engaging in political attacks against the president by herself and her attorney, who has appeared on more than 150 national television news interviews attacking the President and now is exploring a run for the presidency himself in 2020.â€
"This is a number created out of whole cloth," Avenatti said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. "And it is nothing compared to what he will owe my client from the main NDA case."
