The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals accepted arguments by Trump’s lawyers that he was merely offering his opinion and not leveling any factual claims of his own when he issued the tweet casting doubt on her claims that she faced intimidation as she prepared to go public with allegations that she and Trump had a sexual encounter. A three-judge panel unanimously ruled that Trump’s tweet amounted to an opinion about another Twitter user’s message suggesting that a sketch Daniels helped prepare of a man who allegedly intimidated her in a casino parking lot looked much like a photo of Daniels’ ex-husband. “A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!” Trump commented as he retweeted a earlier message containing the two images. The 9th Circuit judges said that was not enough to the sustain the suit in which Daniels — whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford — accused Trump of damaging her reputation by painting her as a liar. “Viewed through the eyes of an objectively reasonable reader, the tweet here reflects Mr. Trump’s opinion about the implications of the allegedly similar appearances of Ms. Clifford’s ex-husband and the man in the sketch,” the court said in its nine-page ruling, which indicated no specific author. “Because the tweet juxtaposing the two images was displayed immediately below Mr. Trump’s tweet, the reader was provided with the information underlying the allegedly defamatory statement and was free to draw his or her own conclusions.” Daniels’ lawyer also argued that Trump’s reference to a “con job” amounted to an accusation that she was engaged in criminal activity. However, the appeals judges didn’t buy that, either, saying that the remark “could not be interpreted as anything more than a colorful expression of rhetorical hyperbole.” The appeals judges also rejected Daniels’ assertion that the tweet amounted to a denial of her underlying claim of the sexual encounter. Trump has frequently denounced the 9th Circuit as a bastion of liberalism and has claimed its rulings are driven by political bias against him. However, the three-judge panel that ruled unanimously in Trump’s favor on the libel suit is composed of Democratic appointees: Clinton nominees Sidney Thomas and Kim Wardlaw and Obama nominee Jacqueline Nguyen...

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed Friday the lower court's decision from October 2018 to dismiss the case. U.S. District Judge S. James Otero had ruled that Trump's tweet at the center of the case was "rhetorical hyperbole" protected by the First Amendment instead of the defamation alleged. Daniels, born Stephanie Clifford, alleged that she was threatened in a Las Vegas casino parking lot in 2011 after agreeing to cooperate with a magazine that intended to publish a story on her alleged intimate relationship with Trump in 2006. Daniels sued over an April 18, 2018, tweet in which Trump said the sketch of a man who allegedly threatened Clifford in 2011 was a "total con job."... Trump has denied Clifford's allegations about their relationship though Trump's personal lawyer at the time, Michael Cohen, arranged to pay $130,000 to Daniels on Trump's behalf as part of a hush arrangement a month ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
