Michael Avenatti announces he won't run for president, cites family

Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels, announced Tuesday that he will not run for president in 2020 at the request of his family.

"After consultation with my family and at their request, I have decided not to seek the Presidency of the United States in 2020," Avenatti said. "I do not make this decision lightly — I make it out of respect for my family. But for their concerns, I would run."

Avenatti added that he will continue representing Daniels and others in litigation against President Donald Trump and his associates, adding that he "will not rest until Trump is removed from office."

Avenatti has raised money for Democratic candidates and traveled to early primary states like Iowa and New Hampshire.
