Stormy Daniels’ media-savvy lawyer is Trump’s newest nemesis

WASHINGTON: Stormy Daniels’ media-savvy lawyer is President Donald Trump’s newest nemesis.
Michael Avenatti is using his signature mix of force and flash to go after Trump, taunting him in interviews, baiting him with tweets and putting him on notice that he wants to depose him.
Avenatti’s client said in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday that she had sex with the married Trump once in 2006 and that a man threatened her with physical harm in 2011 if she went public with her story. A Trump lawyer paid Daniels $130,000 days before the 2016 presidential election as part of a nondisclosure agreement she is seeking to invalidate.
So far, the say-anything president has been conspicuously silent on Daniels, though the White House says he denies her claims.
