Michael Avenatti hails 2020 ‘endorsement’ from Steve Bannon

Michael Avenatti, the outspoken lawyer representing porn star Stormy Daniels, attributed criticism of his role in Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to Democrats and Republicans being worried about him as a 2020 presidential prospect.

“Want to know why Repubs and some Dems are pathetically trying to make me the scapegoat for the Kavanaugh nomination, watch the below,” Avenatti posted on Twitter Sunday, referring to an interview Steve Bannon recently gave to HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.” “This, together with the fact that I am not beholden to any of the establishment, is everything you need to know.”
