International desk: Adult film star Stormy Daniels, locked in a court battle with President Donald Trump over their alleged affair, was arrested Wednesday while performing at a strip club in what her lawyer described as a “politically motivated” setup.<\/p>\n
Daniels was arrested at a club in Columbus, Ohio while performing an act she has done at nearly 100 strip clubs across America, Michael Avenatti wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n
He said Daniels was arrested for allegedly allowing a customer to touch her in a non-sexual way while on stage.<\/p>\n
“This was a setup & politically motivated. It reeks of desperation. We will fight all bogus charges,” Avenatti wrote.<\/p>\n
“They are devoting law enforcement resources to sting operations for this? There has to be higher priorities!!!,” he added.<\/p>\n
Avenatti said in a later tweet that he expects Daniels to be released on bail “shortly” and charged with a misdemeanor for “touching.”<\/p>\n
“We will vehemently contest all charges,” he wrote.<\/p>\n
Daniels — real name Stephanie Clifford — is suing Trump and his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen to nullify a 2016 non-disclosure agreement preventing her from speaking out about the affair she says she had with Trump in 2006.<\/p>\n
Just days before the 2016 election, Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 in exchange for her silence.<\/p>\n
She is hoping to have the non-disclosure agreement thrown out on the grounds that it is not valid because Trump never signed it.<\/p>\n
Through White House officials, Trump has denied the affair, although Cohen has admitted paying Daniels $130,000 as part of the agreement. He initially said he used his own money to pay Daniels and was not reimbursed by Trump.<\/p>\n
However, Trump — who initially denied knowledge of the payment — subsequently conceded that Cohen was in fact reimbursed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
