The public feud between porn star Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti and Donald Trump has added a whole new accusation, this time against the accusation-prone Avenatti, about which the two could swipe at each other.

Trump repeated the line again, but this time with his famous smirk, “I wish him the best of luck!”
