Stormy Daniels' Lawyer Michael Avenatti Arrested for Domestic Violence

Michael Avenatti - who gained notoriety as the attorney for Stormy Daniels in her legal battle against President Donald Trump - has reportedly been arrested for felony domestic violence.

An official told The Associated Press on a condition of anonymity that police responded to a domestic violence incident Tuesday and took a report, but Avenatti was taken into custody on Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Police Department has since confirmed that Avenatti was arrested on "Suspicion of domestic violence."

We can confirm that today LAPD Detectives arrested Michael Avenatti on suspicion of domestic violence.

TMZ reported the confrontation between Avenatti and the woman happened at an exclusive apartment building in the Century City area of west Los Angeles.

"The purpose of these exclusion / exclusive use orders is intended to prevent acts of domestic violence and to provide for a separation of the persons involved for a period sufficient to enable them to seek a resolution of the cause of the violence," court records read. Avenatti may not only face domestic violence charges, but has been referred to the Department of Justice in relation to a client he represented during the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Following Grassley's announcement of the criminal referral, NBC published a story noting that not only had the network not been able to corroborate Swetnick's initial claims, but it "Found other apparent inconsistencies in a second sworn statement from another woman whose statement Avenatti provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee in a bid to bolster Swetnick's claims."
