Stormy Daniels must pay Trump $293,000
The $293,000 represent part of Trump's attorney's fees for defending himself against Stormy's defamation law suit. The judge tacked on another $1000 in sanctions for a frivolous case. Judges need to impose these sanctions more often.
How much did Stormy get to keep her mouth shut? She is also being sued for violating that agreement. Is there a trailer in Stormy's future? She would be a hit at the trailer park.
Check out what the judge said about legal fees:Porn star Stormy Daniels must pay President Donald Trump nearly $293,000 for his attorneys’ fees and another $1,000 in sanctions after her defamation suit against him was dismissed, a federal judge in Los Angeles ordered Tuesday.
Trump’s attorney, Charles Harder, had requested nearly $390,000 in fees and equal amount in sanctions as a deterrent against a “repeat filer of frivolous defamation cases.”
Judge S. James Otero cut the requested legal fees by 25 percent and awarded just $1,000 in sanctions.
Otero previously noted that fees by Harder’s firm — as high as $840 an hour — were reasonable but the 580 hours spent on the case appeared excessive.
