Yesterday, District Judge S. James Otero dismissed Stormy Daniels’ suit claiming that President Donald Trump defamed her. Daniels came out earlier this year saying that she and Trump had a brief affair back in 2006. In 2011, Daniels said that she was approached by a man in Las Vegas who threatened her infant daughter if she didn’t leave Trump alone. On February 13, Michael Cohen acknowledged that he paid Daniels $130,000 to stop her from speaking about the affair. The case started after Trump defamed her by suggesting she was lying about being threatened to keep quiet about the supposed relationship.

“Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas,” Trump wrote in a recent tweet.

Otero dismissed the suit because he deemed Trump’s tweet a ‘rhetorical hyperbole’, which is protected under the First Amendment. In addition to that, Otero ruled that Daniels has to pay Trump’s legal bills. While there isn’t a fixed amount yet, it is estimated to be quite a big number. The whole situation between the two is not over yet. Daniels, Trump, and Michael Avenatti (Daniels’ lawyer) are going at each other on Twitter. In addition to that, there is still an ongoing legal battle over the $130,000 that Cohen paid Daniels before the 2016 election as hush money.
