Donald Trump’s alleged former fling Stormy Daniels says she’d rather be locked up than pay Trump.
Daniels and Trump have been going head to head over the last few years. Their most recent dispute comes after a federal appeals court held up a lower court’s ruling that she must pay Trump $300,000 for attorney’s fees. The entire ordeal stems from the two’s longstanding legal battle over her claims that Trump bribed her to keep quiet about their alleged sexual encounter in 2006.
Daniels also claimed a man threatened her, which led to Trump calling her claims a “con job.” Daniels filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump over his words, but the suit was dismissed in 2018 by a judge who said Trump’s remarks were protected by the First Amendment, Yahoo! Entertainment reports.
Trump denies ever having sex with Daniels and called the court win a “total and complete victory and vindication for, and of me.”
“The lawsuit was a purely political stunt that never should have started, or allowed to happen, and I am pleased that my lawyers were able to bring it to a successful conclusion after the court fully rejected her appeal,” Trump said in a statement, Yahoo! Entertainment. “Now all I have to do is wait for all of the money she owes me.”
But Daniels says she’d rather be thrown in the slammer before being ordered to give Trump a dime. “I will go to jail before I pay a penny,” wrote Daniels via Twitter.
