Porn star Stormy Daniels has settled a lawsuit against the city of Columbus, Ohio, for $450,000, receiving the payout after she charged that police arrested at a strip club in retaliation for her claim that she had an affair with Donald Trump.

Columbus police arrested her during her performance at the Sirens Gentlemen's Club on a misdemeanor sex offense for touching three customers who were undercover vice detectives. The charge was dropped hours later.

"It could have been a lot more with a jury but we recognized that was the number that would get justice and would get attention and we agreed to that," attorney Clark Brewster told reporters from the courthouse steps, standing alongside Daniels.
