Michael Avenatti -- the lawyer for Stephanie Clifford, the adult film star better known as Stormy Daniels -- told the Des Moines Register that he was “exploring a run for the presidency of the United States.”
The critic of U.S. President Donald Trump and founding partner at the California law firm Eagan Avenatti LLP plans to address the Democratic Wing Ding fundraiser on Friday in Clear Lake, Iowa, the newspaper said. Past speakers have included former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Senator Bernie Sanders, and then-Senator Barack Obama, who headlined in 2007 ahead of his key victory in the early caucus state.
