Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti reportedly arrested for domestic violence
Michael Avenatti was arrested for domestic violence on Wednesday for allegedly attacking his estranged wife.
Avenatti, a lawyer for Donald Trump’s alleged ex-mistress Stormy Daniels, was taken into custody in Los Angeles Wednesday for allegedly leaving his wife’s face “swollen and bruised,” according to TMZ.
The incident originally took place on Tuesday but LAPD responded to the address Wednesday where Avenatti could be heard saying “She hit me first, This is bulls–t,” the website reported.
His wife, Lisa, ran out of the apartment building wearing sunglasses and saying on the phone, “I can’t believe you did this to me,” TMZ reported.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has said she had sex with Trump in 2006 — and was paid $130,000 to keep it quiet. Trump has denied having an affair.
Avenatti, who did not respond to a request for comment, was still in police custody Wednesday evening.
