A US federal judge has dismissed porn actress Stormy Daniels’ lawsuit seeking to annul a hush money agreement she had with President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The agreement prevented her from discussing an alleged 2006 fling with Mr Trump – but Mr Trump had already agreed not to enforce it.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump has denied having an affair with Ms Daniels.<\/p>\n

His former lawyer Michael Cohen has said the $130,000 (\u00a3100,000) payment was made to help Mr Trump get elected.<\/p>\n

Last month Mr Cohen told Congress that Mr Trump had reimbursed him for the payment “as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws”.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump has denied wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

The decision in favour of Mr Trump by Los Angeles Federal Judge James Otero follows\u00a0the failure of Ms Daniels’ defamation case against Mr Trump last year<\/a>\u00a0– a case over which Judge Otero also presided.<\/p>\n

She had sued the US president after he mocked her claim that a stranger had threatened her to keep quiet.<\/p>\n

Ms Daniels said the latest ruling amounted to the end of the non-disclosure agreement.<\/p>\n

“More than a year ago when I was being threatened with a 20 million lawsuit, I asked a judge to toss out this illegal NDA. Glad I stood my ground and kept fighting,” she said on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Her lawyer Michael Avenatti also insisted the result was a win for his client.<\/p>\n

Yet again, lots of misreporting going on. Be clear: The Court specifically found that Stormy received everything she asked for in the lawsuit – she won. How people can claim this is a \u201closs\u201d after we forced Trump and Cohen to cave and Cohen has been convicted, etc. is a mystery.<\/p>\n
