LOS ANGELES—A federal judge on Monday dismissed the defamation lawsuit Stormy Daniels filed against President Donald Trump, saying his tweet attacking the porn star’s credibility was free speech protected by the Constitution. This would deprive the country of the ‘discourse’ common to the political process.”Stormy Daniels claims to have slept with U.S. President Donald Trump. Otero ordered Daniels to pay Trump’s legal fees for his defence in the suit. “No amount of spin or commentary by Stormy Daniels or her lawyer ... can truthfully characterize today’s ruling in any way other than total victory for President Trump and total defeat for Stormy Daniels,” Harder said. “Trump issued the tweet as a rejoinder against an individual challenging him in the public arena,” Otero wrote.
