A Californian judge has ordered President Donald Trump to pay $44,100 to adult performer Stormy Daniels to cover her legal fees related to a lawsuit in which she tried to break an agreement she claimed was signed to cover an alleged 2006 affair.

The judge from the Superior Court in Los Angeles determined that Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, had prevailed in her lawsuit against Trump over a nondisclosure agreement that was signed in exchange for a $130,000 payment, according to a court order dated Aug. 17, posted online by Daniels’s lawyers (pdf).
