WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Donald Trump lashed out at adult-film star Stormy Daniels and her attorney Tuesday morning, vowing to "go after" the pair, who he referred to as "Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer."

The tweet from Trump comes a day after a federal judge in California handed the president a rare victory in his ongoing legal battles with Daniels.

"Bring everything you have," Avenatti crowed, "because we are going to demonstrate to the world what a complete shyster and liar you are."
