On the same day as his indictment new court documents released stating that adult film actress Stormy Daniels now owes additional legal fees to former President Trump. Daniels was previously ordered to pay $300,000 in legal fees after an unsuccessful defamation lawsuit, and an appeal against paying those fees was denied last year.

 

Eric Trump, the former president’s son, announced on Twitter that the 9th Circuit awarded Donald Trump $121,962.56 in attorney fees from Daniels. He added that this sum was in addition to the approximately $500,000 she already owes his father.

 

Harmeet Dhillon, a lawyer from Dhillon Law Group representing Trump, shared a copy of the order and congratulated Trump on his “final attorney fee victory” on Twitter. Dhillon stated that her firm has secured over $600,000 in attorney fee awards in favor of the former president as a result of the “baseless litigation initiated by Stormy Daniels.”

 

Following Tuesday’s decision, Daniels is now responsible for an extra $121,962.56 in legal fees, as per documents filed in the United States Court of Appeals and disclosed by the Dhillon Law Group. Trump’s eldest sons, Eric and Don Jr., shared their enthusiasm for the news on Twitter.

The requested $121,962.56 covers the 183.35 hours spent “defending against the appeal and preparing the fee application,” according to court documents. The court granted the considerable sum in favor of Trump and against “Stephanie Clifford,” Daniels’s legal name.

 

When Daniels was initially ordered to pay nearly $300,000 in legal fees in March 2022, she stated that her attorney, Michael Avenatti, had filed the defamation suit against Trump in 2018 “without my permission and against my wishes.” Daniels also declared that she would “go to jail” before paying “a penny” of the money owed to Trump.

 

The legal fee ruling is largely separate from Trump’s arraignment in New York City on Tuesday, which pertains to criminal charges filed in Manhattan. Although this is a big win for team Trump.
