Stormy Daniels must pay $122,000 in Trump legal bills
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Stormy Daniels must pay nearly $122,000 of Donald Trump’s legal fees that were racked up in connection with the porn actor’s failed defamation lawsuit, an appeals court ruled Tuesday.
The decision in California came at about the same time that that Trump became the only ex-president to be charged with a crime. Trump pleaded not guilty in a New York City courtroom to a 34-count felony indictment accusing him falsifying business records in a scheme to hush up allegations of extramarital affairs with Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal that broke during his first White House run.
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 judge threw out the case in 2018.
On Tuesday, a commissioner for the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Trump’s attorneys “reasonably spent” more than 183 hours on an appeal of the case but denied a request for another $5,150 in other fees because it wasn’t itemized.
In all, Daniels has been ordered to pay more than $600,000 in Trump’s legal fees, tweeted Harmeet Dillon, one of his attorneys in the case.
That includes some $300,000 in attorney’s fees that Daniels previously was ordered to pay.
After a federal appeals court upheld that award last year, Daniels stated: “I will go to jail before I pay a penny.”
Messages seeking comment from her attorney, Oklahoma lawyer Clark Brewster, weren’t immediately returned after hours Tuesday.

#Winning. :D
Someone gets it. It's what the Trumpturds on here have been told over and over by myself and others, but can't pull their heads out of the orange ass long enough to listen.
It's ok though. We really know that Barr is the bad guy here. Send Trumpy more money, it will help.

Barr slams Trump as weak candidate, makes bold prediction for 2024 election
Former Attorney General Bill Barr slammed former President Donald Trump as "the weakest of the Republican candidates," predicting that Trump will ultimately lose to President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.
"I think ultimately the savvy Democratic strategists know [the Manhattan District Attorney's Office probe] is going to help Trump, and they want him to be the nominee because he is the weakest of the Republican candidates, the most likely to lose again to Biden," Barr said on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.
Barr's comments came the week after Trump pleaded not guilty in a New York City courtroom to 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. The former president and leading Republican presidential candidate for 2024 was indicted on March 30 as part of the Manhattan DA's years-long investigation into hush-money payments made during the 2016 election.
"I don't think anything's going to happen before a nomination is made and even perhaps until the election, the 2024 election," Barr said when asked about the likelihood of Trump being convicted and sent to prison. "This stuff is going to drag out through '24, and it's going to stymie and disrupt the whole Republican primary process."
"I also think, though, as far as the general election is concerned, it will gravely weaken Trump," Barr said. "He's already, I think, a weak candidate that would lose, but I think this sort of assures it."
Barr also said he would be most concerned about the Mar-a-Lago document case, saying Trump has "dug himself into a hole" given his "reckless and self-destructive behavior."
"In many respects, he's his own worst enemy," Barr said.
