[NYPOST] President Trump is going after porn star Stormy Daniels for $300,000 in legal fees after a federal judge threw out her defamation suit against him, according to a report on Tuesday.
Trump’s lawyers in a court filing argued that they want $341,559.50 in attorney’s fees from Daniels, who alleged she had a sexual affair with the president in 2006, the Washington Examiner reported.
Daniels "filed this action, not because it had any merit, but instead for the ulterior purposes of raising her media profile, engaging in political attacks against the president by herself and her attorney, who has appeared on more than 150 national television news interviews attacking the President and now is exploring a run for the presidency himself in 2020," the documents filed Monday in Los Angeles federal court say.
"This is a number created out of whole cloth," her lawyer Michael Avenatti said in a statement to the newspaper. "And it is nothing compared to what he will owe my client from the main NDA case."
