Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels, boasted about his legal and media strategy Wednesday, seemingly taking credit for the guilty plea by President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney.
“It is eerily quiet this morning,” Avenatti tweeted. “For some reason, for the first time in six months, I don’t have to listen to some pundit criticize my legal or media strategy today.”
“Nor do I have to listen to how my media appearances aren’t advancing the case. Where did you go?” he continued.
