Avenatti, therefore, announced his client’s lawsuit against the President on Twitter yesterday. He alleges that President Trump’s tweet of the “non-existent man” inadvertently accuses Daniels of lying about the occurrence of the incident, which would be a crime in and of itself.
Moments ago, we filed this lawsuit against Mr. Trump for his recent irresponsible and defamatory statements about my client @stormydaniels. He is well aware of what transpired and his complicity. We fully intend on bringing it to light. #buckleup #bastahttps://t.co/ZuBjI1EY9z
