Michael Avenatti drops in on the Democratic Party’s national meeting

First, the Los Angeles-based attorney stopped by a meeting about the party’s ethnic coalitions and updated DNC members on his legal work for undocumented immigrants separated from their families. Later, he walked into a meeting of the DNC Black Caucus, just as it wrapped up, and discussed how “guys who look like me” had elected President Trump…

In Chicago, Avenatti told Democrats that he was invested in the future of “my party” and willing to go where he was needed. Before building his law practice, he had worked in party opposition research; in a way, he had come home.

“I’ve been asked to attend Democratic fundraisers, to assist Democrats raising money for the midterm elections,” Avenatti said. “I’ve set a personal goal of traveling to at least 20 states and assisting them.”
