Former President Donald Trump secured a legal victory against Stormy Daniels hours after his arraignment in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday in connection to a “hush money” payment made to the porn star during the 2016 presidential campaign.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ordered Daniels to pay Trump $121,972 in legal fees stemming from a 2018 defamation lawsuit that she filed against him that was later dismissed.

“Alvin Bragg shut down New York City, brought in 38,000 NYPD officers, and will spend an estimated $200,000,000 of NYC funds, for a totally legal $130,000 NDA. On top of all that, the 9th Circuit Court just awarded me $122,000 — over the $500,000 already awarded, from Stormy ‘Horseface’ Daniels!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Tuesday. 

Daniels had claimed that after a 2011 interview with In Touch Magazine, during which she alleged that she had an affair with Trump in 2006, an unnamed man approached her and appeared to threaten her, saying, “Leave Trump alone. Forget the story” and “That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom,” a reference to her daughter.

Her interview was not published by the magazine. 

In 2018, Trump accused Daniels of lying about the “nonexistent man” and his threats, calling it “a total con job,” prompting Daniels to sue him.   

The Ninth Circuit ruled that the fees demanded by Trump were “reasonable,” according to a court filing.

The nearly $122,000 in legal fees awarded to Trump on Tuesday are on top of some $300,000 Daniels was ordered to pay when the lawsuit was dismissed. 

“BREAKING!!! the 9th Circuit just awarded Trump $121,962.56 in attorney fees from Stormy Daniels.  Order just released. This in addition to the roughly $500k she already owes him,” the former president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., wrote in a tweet Tuesday.

“LOL glad she’s out there saying her T-shirt sales are booming she’ll be able to afford to pay Trump!” he added. 

The former commander-in-chief’s attorney, Harmeet Dhillon, also tweeted her congratulations to Trump on Tuesday.

“Congratulations to President Trump on this final attorney fee victory in his favor this morning,” Dhillion said.

“Collectively, our firm obtained over $600,000 in attorney fee awards in his favor in the meritless litigation initiated by Stormy Daniels.”

Daniels has vowed that she would “go to jail” before paying any money to Trump.

“I will go to jail before I pay a penny,” Daniels said last year after a federal appeals court upheld a ruling that she must pay Trump $300,000 in attorneys’ fees.
