Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for an adult film star engaged in a legal battle with Donald Trump, was arrested in Los Angeles on a felony domestic violence charge, police said Wednesday.
The Los Angeles Police Department tweeted that the star attorney was booked in the afternoon and his bail was set at USD 50,000.
In a statement, the 47-year-old lawyer denied any wrongdoing.
"I have never been physically abusive in my life nor was I last night," he said.
"Any accusations to the contrary are fabricated and meant to do harm to my reputation.
"I look forward to being fully exonerated."
