WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from porn star Stormy Daniels, who sought to revive a defamation lawsuit she filed against former President Donald Trump.

The justices did not comment in leaving in place a lower court ruling dismissing the case.

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 federal judge dismissed the lawsuit in 2018 and ordered Daniels to pay nearly $300,000 in attorneys’ fees.

2. Mostly bad news for trump today.

3. No, it was because it was a bad case in the first place.

Ambulance-chasing, now disbarred lawyer Michael Avenatti screwed it up so badly that Daniels got stuck with attorneys' fees. You really have to mess up for that to happen.

[MichMan]

4. Can't believe so many here fawned over Avenatti at one time

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Yeah, and some of us got dragged for pointing out what a fraud he was.

[groundloop]

10. Well, he did prove useful for a time. Mine enemies' enemy.........

But still, even that doesn't excuse him for being a hypocritical fraud.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

7. God, there were ppl who wanted him to run for President! Nt

[Hoyt]

9. Sadly, it was not just a few people. And TVOcelot is right, DUers got bashed for pointing out

he was another fraud.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

13. There are several frauds who get oxygen here because they're ostensibly on our side

At least Mensch has shut up....

[FBaggins]

5. Can't spin it that way

They were just upholding a unanimous decision of a three-judge panel of the 9th circuit with two Clinton appointees and one Obama appointee.

Better to just assume that just because you oppose Trump doesn't mean that you have a legal case.

19. Thanks I'll pull the post

[Fullduplexxx]

8. Can she refile?

[FBaggins]

12. Not with the same claim

Perhaps she can get trump to say something else about her?

[global1]

11. Didn't Michael Cohen Go To Jail For The Payoff And Wasn't Tr**p....

Individual #1 in that case? Won't this be taken up by SDNY?

[efhmc]

15. Surely someone here can help me with this but I remember hearing that

the individual #1 case would or could not be prosecuted.

14. She may just be one of the less

insane people that associated with El Trumpo.

[samsingh]

16. that's too bad. I think she should start a legal fund for donations to cover what she owes

[Marcuse]

18. If she only had a way to raise money.

[Skittles]

20. so her gold digging is coming to an end?

at least with Donald Fucking Trump

[azureblue]

21. who said she was a gold digger?

The only time I have heard her accused of that is by people who are trying to smear her. Got a link?

[Skittles]

22. what would you call fucking a married man and shaking him down for money?

just curious

[MarineCombatEngineer]

23. I would also call it gold digging. nt

[Skittles]

24. THANK YOU

I find both Trump and Stormy sleazy and disgusting.

[Dr. Strange]

25. Right?

I think people get so hung up on how scummy Trump is that they make the mistake of thinking that anyone who opposes Trump is decent.

[Skittles]

26. you nail it, Dr. Strange

Trump is scummy enough to make other scummy scammers seem.....not so bad.
