Stormy Daniels: Porn star's Trump hush money case thrown out
39 minutes ago BBC World
A US federal judge has dismissed porn actress Stormy Daniels' lawsuit seeking to annul a hush money agreement she had with President Donald Trump.
The agreement prevented her from discussing an alleged 2006 fling with Mr Trump - but Mr Trump had already agreed not to enforce it.
Mr Trump has denied having an affair with Ms Daniels.
His former lawyer Michael Cohen has said the $130,000 (£100,000) payment was made to help Mr Trump get elected.
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".
Mr Trump has denied wrongdoing.
The decision in favour of Mr Trump by Los Angeles Federal Judge James Otero follows the failure of Ms Daniels' defamation case against Mr Trump last year - a case over which Judge Otero also presided.
