Judge orders Trump to pay legal fees to Stormy Daniels

Broadbelt ruled that Clifford was entitled to be reimbursed for the legal fees after deciding she was the "prevailing party" under California law even though the case was dismissed.
He also dismissed arguments from Trump's attorneys that he was not responsible for covering the fees because he did not sign the NDA, ruling that because Trump had reimbursed Cohen for the $130,000 and since the president's legal team had argued that a defamation suit from Clifford should be handled by an NDA arbiter, Trump was effectively a party to the deal.
