Stormy Daniels was arrested last night after she allegedly allowed patrons to touch her while she was performing at a strip club in Columbus, Ohio. A state law says that only family members can touch a nude or semi-nude dancer. Daniels, who has said that she had an affair with Donald Trump in 2006 and was reportedly given a $130,000 hush payment, was released on bail early Thursday morning.
Her lawyer Michael Avenatti called the charge “bogus” and said it was a politically motivated setup. Daniels will face three misdemeanor charges, which Avenatti plans to fight “vehemently.”
Just rcvd word that my client was arrested in Columbus Ohio whole performing the same act she has performed across the nation at nearly a hundred strip clubs. This was a setup & politically motivated. It reeks of desperation. We will fight all bogus charges.
