[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Porn star Stormy Daniels recently announced that she would enter the 2020 presidential race if her former attorney Michael Avenatti announced a campaign.Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, discussed her unlikely but possible presidential campaign in an interview with The Daily Beast that was published Sunday.
“If he decides to run, I’m going to run just so I can start a GoFundMe for the sheer purpose of making smear campaign videos against him,” Clifford said, laughing. “Just for fun. I bet people would actually be into it.”
Avenatti had been representing Clifford in a lawsuit purposed to void a hush-money agreement she made for an alleged affair she had with President Trump in 2006.
Clifford opted to retain new representation in March.
“This was not a decision we made lightly and it came only after lengthy discussion, thought and deliberation, as well as consultation with other professionals,” Avenatti said in a statement at the time. “We wish Stormy all the best.”
Avenatti has been arrested on multiple occasions with claims of domestic violence and embezzlement in an attempt to extort Nike.
