Stormy strip club bust a setup, says lawyer

US adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claims she had an affair with President Donald Trump in 2006, has been arrested in a strip club in what her lawyer says is a set-up. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was arrested in a Columbus, Ohio, club yesterday for allowing a customer to touch her in a nonsexual manner while on stage, lawyer Michael Avenatti said. Avenatti said Daniels was arrested during a sting operation. ‘‘This was a setup & politically motivated. It reeks of desperation. We will fight all bogus charges,’’ Avenatti said. Daniels Avenatti said Daniels was performing the same act yesterday ‘‘she has performed across the nation at nearly a hundred strip clubs.’’
