RUSH EXCERPT:
SIDNER: "Some people are delighting in what they see as your facade being exposed. The New York Post, 'Avenatti is the fraud con man he accused Trump of being.' The Hill says you might get to share a cell with Michael Cohen. 'Avenatti crashes and burns.' Have you crashed and burned?"
AVENATTI: "No, I don’t think I have crashed and burned at all. This is a rough and tumble business. There’s no question about that. We operate now in an environment that is more toxic politically than we ever experienced in the history of the United States."
SIDNER: "Haven’t you contributed to that?"
AVENATTI: "Largely due to social media."
SIDNER: "Haven’t you contributed to that?"
AVENATTI: "I don’t think so. I don’t think I have trafficked in nonsense for the most part."
