A US federal judge has dismissed porn actor Stormy Daniels' defamation lawsuit against President Donald Trump.
Daniels alleges she had an affair with Trump in 2006 and sued him in April.Â
The lawsuit came after Trump tweeted about a composite sketch of a man Daniels says threatened her in 2011 to keep quiet about an alleged affair.Â
He called it a "total con job".
In dismissing the suit, the judge said Trump's tweet was a "hyperbolic statement" against a political adversary.
Daniels' lawyer has vowed to appeal.
