Michael Avenatti, the outspoken lawyer for the adult film star Stephanie Clifford, took his anti-Trump campaign almost to the president’s doorstep on Tuesday, with a small but noisy demonstration outside the White House.

As protesters blew whistles and banged drums, Avenatti and other speakers on Pennsylvania Avenue opposite the executive mansion’s North Lawn focused on statements that President Donald Trump made at his summit with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday.
