Stormy Daniels Lawyer Rubs Elbows With Sean Hannity at Party, Says He ‘Actually Likes’ Fox Host

While he’s made a lengthy list of appearances on left-leaning news programs, Stormy Daniels‘ attorney Micahel Avenatti reportedly has a soft spot for Fox host Sean Hannity.

At a party Thursday evening hosted by The Hollywood Reporter, Avenatti was said to have chatted with Hannity, even stopping to snap a photo with each other, according to MediaPost’s Alex Weprin.

The Daily Beast‘s Max Tani said Avenatti told him “he actually likes” Hannity, and might consider making an appearance on his show.

Just asked Avenatti about his conversation with @seanhannity. Avenatti says he actually likes him, and he discussed going on Hannity’s show but they “need some fencing” before he agrees to an interview. https://t.co/ZIObRGKCxW

Making the rounds, Avenatti was even said to have spoken with ex-White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci.

An appearance on Hannity’s show would be significant for Avenatti in that he would join a fervent Trump supporter who has railed against threats to the president’s power and credibility. Avenatti has been serving as the lawyer for Daniels, the porn star who claims to have been paid off by Trump attorney Michael Cohen to remain silent on her alleged affair with the president.
