President Trump has been ordered by a California court to pay adult film actress Stormy Daniels’ $44,100 for her legal fees, after she sued the president over a non-disclosure agreement issued to keep her quiet about their previous affair. Former attorney to the president, Michael Cohen approached Stormy Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, and asked her to sign the NDA. Trump claimed he did not know about the hush money paid by Cohen, who in February 2018 said he paid Daniels out of his own pocket. One month later, Trump and his new lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said Trump did, in fact, pay Cohen back. But Broadbelt disagreed in his Monday ruling, which Daniels' lawyers posted online Friday.
