New York: A federal judge has dismissed pornstar Stormy Daniels' defamation lawsuit against US President Donald Trump. Daniels sued Trump after he said in a tweet in April that her story of a man threatening her not to come forward with her story of her alleged affair with Trump was "a total con job", CNN reported.

She argued Trump's tweet, posted April 18, "attacks the veracity of her account" of the incident and that Trump's statement was "false and defamatory, and that the tweet was defamation ... because it charged her with committing a serious crime", District Judge S. James Otero wrote in his opinion on Monday.
