Stormy Daniels has lost her defamation case against Donald Trump. A federal judge dismissed the suit on First Amendment grounds and awarded the President his attorneys’s fees. WaPo had more details here.
UPDATE—Here’s the court’s order.
Hmmmmmm.
hogewash
Never pick a fight with a man who buys pixels by the terabyte.
Even though the court is allowing it, Trump would be an idiot to go for attorney’s fees. The press would crucify him.
Because the case was governed under Texas law (Daniels’ home state), the Texas Anti-SLAPP law may require fees be awarded—even if that’s only a nominal dollar.
He should be getting his $130K back, but that’s another case. As for this matter, I think it would be hilarious if The Resistance winds up paying Trump’s lawyers. And were I trump, I’d stuff this down the throat of any journo that pushed him on it.

The press crucify Trump?
Might be the other way around
This isn’t a very surpising result. The first amendment advocate Ken White predicted this shortly after filing.
Do remember, though, that this ruling isn’t directly related to the hush money agreement that kicked this off.
