Stormy Daniels's heavily-publicized strip club tour in Washington, D.C. had a modest turnout on Monday evening, after getting overshadowed by President Trump's Supreme Court announcement the same night.

The 39-year-old adult film star failed to fill the venue for her Washington debut, even with a number of journalists buying $50 general admission tickets to attend the show.

Many of the VIP seats, which cost up to $3,500 and included free champagne and 'Dark and Stormy' shots, were unfilled at Monday's show at the Cloakroom.

The fans who did show up on time for the 6pm show were forced to wait over an hour and a half, watching other acts including nude body painted performers, until Daniels showed up.

Daniels, wearing a casual white and blacked stripe top, was ushered into the Cloakroom quickly by several security guards and her personal photographers and declined to speak to reporters.

It was the first time the 39-year-old adult film star has come to Washington since going public last spring about her alleged affair with President Trump. She previously turned down an invite to the Washington Correspondents' Dinner.

But her much-publicized Monday night performance at the Cloakroom in D.C. was eclipsed by anticipation for President Trump's nomination to replace Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.

Trump teased the Supreme Court announcement over the weekend, before scheduling it for 9 p.m. Monday evening – right in the middle of Daniels's stage time.

'I have long heard that the most important decision a U.S. President can make is the selection of a Supreme Court Justice - Will be announced tonight at 9:00 P.M.,' wrote Trump on Twitter.

Daniels, also known as Stephanie Clifford, has been headlining strip clubs around the country on her 'Make America Horny Again' tour, with stops in San Diego, Baltimore, New Orleans and Detroit.

Monday's show in D.C. is the closest proximity Daniels has been to Trump since it was revealed that his personal lawyer Michael Cohen paid her $130,000 in hush money during the election.

Stormy's debut, however, had a modest turnout and the porn star failed to fill the venue. She was scheduled to perform twice on Monday night with her second show doing slightly better

Tickets to Stormy's show started at $50 for general admission and VIP packages - which included free champagne and 'Dark and Stormy' shots - ran up to $3,500

That payment and other financial transactions by Cohen have come under scrutiny from special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the presidential election.

Daniels was scheduled to perform twice on Monday night and twice on Tuesday.

Her second show had a slightly better turnout but it was not anywhere near a capacity crowd.

Admission started at $50 a ticket with plenty of seats still available as of Monday afternoon. There were also a number of unbooked VIP tables for Monday and Tuesday night, including a $3,500 'skybox' that included private seating for 12, two bottles of house champagne, free cocktails, a round of 'Dark and Stormy' shots, and truffle popcorn.

Even Daniels's outspoken attorney Michael Avenatti, a cable news fixture since signing her as a client, didn't end up making it to the show.

Her two-night event at the Cloakroom in Washington, D.C. was previously postponed from June 'legal reasons,' according to a club spokesperson.

Daniels is currently suing both Trump and his attorney Michael Cohen for defamation, a lawsuit that has been complicated by an ongoing federal criminal probe into Cohen.

In March, Daniels went public with claims that she and Trump had a brief sexual relationship in 2006 after meeting at a celebrity golf tournament. She is currently suing the president and his lawyer for defamation

US District Judge James Otero placed a 90-day stay on the defamation suit in April due to potential conflicts with the criminal case, and rejected a request by Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti to resume the lawsuit in late June.

Daniels also asked the club to institute a strict no-media policy.

'She is very adamant, no press allowed,' one club employee told DailyMail.com. 'She was very diva-ish about that.'

Journalists have flocked to Daniels' previous shows, according to reports.

One reporter was allegedly kicked out of a performance in Greenville, South Carolina, after 'put[ting] his face in Stormy's cleavage,' and another was booted for secretly filming the show.

One Vice reporter griped that her act at a Long Island club was 'no longer than ten minutes' and 'pretty anticlimactic'.

Daniels drew national attention in January, after news emerged that she received a $130,000 payment from Trump's attorney Michael Cohen during the 2016 election, in exchange for staying quiet about her alleged affair with Trump.

In March, Daniels went public with claims that she and Trump had a brief sexual relationship in 2006 after meeting at a celebrity golf tournament.

At the time of the tryst, Trump's wife Melania was pregnant with their son Barron.

Daniels said the two had 'textbook generic' sex and claimed she spanked him with a magazine that had his picture on the cover.

She said Trump later offered to get her a spot on his reality show Celebrity Apprentice, and about a year later invited her to his hotel room again to watch Shark Week.

Trump has denied the relationship, and Daniels sued him and Cohen in April for defamation.

The lawsuit is on a 90-day hold due to a federal criminal investigation into Cohen's business dealings.

Cohen has been cooperating with federal investigators, who are also probing other members of Trump's inner circle as part of a special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
