The former porn star at The Heart of Donald Trump 's historic indictment in New York has been ordered to pay him More Than $121,000 (£96,965) towards legal fees in an unrelated case.
Stormy Daniels , alleged to have had An Affair with Mr Trump in 2006, lost her defamation case over a 2018 tweet Written By the former US president.

The Court found that her " argument that the fee request is unreasonable and excessive is not well-founded, " BBC's US media partner CBS reported.

And on Tuesday - as Mr Trump was fingerprinted, escorted by police into a Manhattan courtroom and listened to a judge read him charges of 34 felony counts - Ms Daniels was ordered to pay Mr Trump the $121,972.
Mr Trump's lawyer Harmeet Dhillon celebrated The Judgement in California, writing on Twitter: " Congratulations to President Trump on this final attorney fee victory in his favour This Morning .
" Collectively, our firm obtained over $600,000 in attorney fee awards in his favour in the meritless litigation initiated by Stormy Daniels . "
