Lawyer in public feud with his client, Stormy Daniels
Leftist lawyer Michael Avenatti says he won’t run for president in 2020.
“After consultation with my family and at their request, I have decided not to seek the presidency of the U. S. in 2020,” Avenatti said in a statement on Twitter. “I do not make this decision lightly — I make it out of respect for my family. But for their concerns, I would run.”
The lawyer, who came into the spotlight for representing porn star Stormy Daniels, began flirting with a presidential run this summer after spending months as a regular guest on mainstream media outlets.
