A US court has ordered that President Donald Trump must pay 33 lakh rupees ($ 44,100) to porn actress Stormy Daniels. The porn star named Stormy Daniels says that she had an affair with Trump. However, Trump has denied this.
A California court ordered Trump to pay Rs 33 lakh to porn actress Stormy Daniels as a lawyer’s fee for his legal battle. The court’s decision comes after Daniels canceled the contract signed a decade ago in exchange for remaining silent about their relationship.
Daniels’ lawyer informed the court’s decision. Stormy Daniels tweeted after the verdict – yes, one more win!
The Superior Court in its order stated that ‘Daniels have won the suit against Trump on the agreement reached just 11 days before the 2016 presidential election. According to the agreement, the losing party will have to pay the lawyers’ fee.
The White House has not yet commented on this. 97.40 lakh rupees ($ 130,000) was given to Daniels by Michael Cohen, the then personal lawyer of the President. Daniels filed his legal name, Stephanie Clifford. After Trump was elected, Daniels filed a case to nullify the agreement.
Trump and his supporters continue to deny that the president was aware of it, but Trump accepted it on Twitter in May 2018, stating that he had paid the amount paid to Daniels to his lawyer, Cohen. At the same time, Daniels said that he was given money to keep quiet after an alleged affair with Trump. An agreement was reached for this.
