Stormy Daniels's attorney, Michael Avenatti, has sought financial assistance from Democrats in efforts to fight President Donald Trump and his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen. The New York Times reports that Avenatti contacted a person close to Democratic millionaire David Brock, while a member of Avenatti's law firm was in touch with people connected to top Democratic donors, including Rachel Pritzker. The discussions reportedly did not lead to any financial help. Daniels has raised money for her battle with Trump and Cohen via a crowdjustice.com page. Avenatti told the Times, "We have not sought any money from anyone on the right or the left."
