Citing Free Speech, Trump Attorneys Look To Dismiss Stormy Daniels Defamation Case

According to a report by Reuters, on Monday, lawyers representing President Donald Trump asked a federal judge to dismiss a defamation lawsuit by adult film actress Stormy Daniels, calling it an attempt to suppress the presidents free speech. The lawyers went on to cite a law in Daniels’ home state of Texas requiring that such a lawsuit be dismissed unless Daniels could provide “clear and specific evidence” for her claims, which they claim she has failed to do.
