Stormy Daniels has been arrested in Ohio while performing a strip show at Sirens Gentleman’s Club in Columbus.
Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, told followers on Twitter it was the: ‘same act she has performed across the nation at nearly a hundred clubs’.
‘This was a setup and politically motivated. It reeks of desperation,’ he wrote.
‘We will fight all bogus charges.’
Avenatti told DailyMail.com Daniels had been performing on stage when she was arrested.
‘A customer touched her in a non-sexual manner and she was subsequently arrested for allowing the customer to touch her in a non-sexual manner,’ he said.
The high-powered attorney claims the arrest was ‘part of a sting’ based on a ‘puritan law’ that says there is absolutely no touching in strip clubs in Columbus.
He says Daniels has received a misdemeanor and has not been charged and will be ‘released shortly’.
‘This was an absolute setup,’ he said.
Dailymail.com reached out to Sirens who refused to comment. When asked about the arrest, a member of staff told us ‘no comment’ before hanging up.
Daniels has been embroiled in a lawsuit with the President since early March, to get out of a non-disclosure agreement relating to an affair she had with him in 2006.
A defamation lawsuit was also filed in April, alleging the President tried to tarnish her reputation and credibility by dismissing her claim a man threatened her in 2011, when she was ready to go public about her alleged affair with Trump.
