Michael Avenatti, the fervent anti-President Trump lawyer facing a 36-count federal indictment, is backing former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 Democratic primaries.

“I am extremely happy that @JoeBiden has decided to enter the race,” Avenatti tweeted. “He offers Dems the very best chance in 2020, especially in key states. He has the fight, intelligence and fortitude to beat Trump and begin to make America, America again. He has my enthusiastic support.”
