Michael Avenatti, the attorney for adult film star Stormy Daniels, reportedly sought help from liberal donors in his fight against President Trump and attorney Michael Cohen -- but was unable to secure the additional funding.

Avenatti on Friday disputed the account, which was published in The New York Times, and claimed that -- to the contrary -- he has turned down Republican offers of financial help.

“Never happened,” Avenatti told Fox News in an email, regarding the reported contact with liberal donors. “But what I can tell you is we have turned down over $200,000 in the last month from 3 separate republican donors looking to harm the President.”

The Times reported that Avenatti, though, contacted an official in the network of liberal groups led by Media Matters founder David Brock. The Times also reported that someone associated with Avenatti’s law firm contacted two people connected to major Democratic donors.

Brock’s groups include Media Matters, ShareBlue, American Bridge Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, and others. Last year, Brock’s network aimed to raise $40 million to fight Trump.

This slip and fall azzhole Lawyer is a DNC hatchet man. He's worked for them for years. Of course he is getting his pals to bankroll this nonsense.

They're probably pizzed he's asking them publicly.  They can't be happy with his notifying the world they've been bankrolling him.  It's not news to us, but it is to people who had never heard of him before they found out he's dirty.

I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.

Well the man is desperate. He's caught up in a tax evasion scam. His stripper has been discredited. He has been caught lying to his MSM pals. The guy is circling the drain. He doesn't have time for discreet back channels now.

Call "1-800-Kiss It Bye Bye."  Tell 'em Stormy sent you, they'll treat you right.

Rosie O'Donnell is available for advice on that.
