Michael Avenatti, the embattled lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels, said Thursday he's "coming for" Jacob Whol, hinting that the far-right conspiracy theorist might be behind his arrest for alleged domestic violence.
"First Mueller and now me," Avenatti tweeted. "When we are fully exonerated I am coming for you Jacob Wohl aka Surefire."
Wohl, a backer of President Trump, was recently implicated in a convoluted scheme to falsely accuse special counsel Robert Mueller of sexual misconduct.
Avenatti was taken into custody by Los Angeles police on Wednesday, in connection to an alleged act of felony domestic violence. He's denied all charges.
"I have never been physically abusive in my life nor was I last night," he said in a statement on Wednesday. "Any accusations to the contrary are fabricated and meant to do harm to my reputation. I look forward to being fully exonerated.”
