HOLD UP. What Ever Happened To The Money Avenatti Raised For ‘Migrant Families?’

As you may know, Michael Avenatti is in all kinds of trouble right now.

Stormy Daniels recently revealed that not only did he file a lawsuit against Trump AGAINST HER WISHES, she’s been fundraising “for” her… but she has no idea where the money has gone.

Which got me thinking…

Michael Avenatti REALLY likes fundraising for his “clients.”

We continue to work towards full reunification of families separated at the border but our work is far from over. We need additional monies to pay for release bonds & out-of-pocket expenses (NOT attorneys’ fees). Please contribute and retweet. #Bastahttps://t.co/hiYLHr3QP2

As of writing this, he’s raised quite a bit:

and his is what he had to say about it:

Please join the legal battle to reunite families and end the forced separation of migrant children from their parents.

The Trump administration speaks of making America great, but on our southern border it is now committing atrocities that we would have never thought possible. The forced separation of children from their parents runs counter to our values as a nation, the core principles our country was founded upon, and what we stand for. This is not my America. This is not our America.

We are raising funds to pay for (a) release bonds to assist mothers who are attempting to gain release from detention centers so they can be reunited with their children and (b) out-of-pocket expenses for our work reuniting families and changing the policy. No monies are going toward attorneys’ fees, and the uses of your money will be publicly disclosed.

All mothers are mothers first. Regardless of their political persuasion. And all children are simply children.

Please help us right this wrong.

Michael Avenatti, Esq.

The emphasis is mine.

I REALLY wanted you to notice that he said the uses of the money would be publicly disclosed and that NONE of it would be used for attorney’s fees. (AKA paying himself.)

And while he’s done plenty of virtue signling…

Last week, @ricardo_de_anda (one of the best) and I were able to finally reunite our clients Byron and Edy with their parents 5 mos after they were taken at the border. Hundreds of more children are still detained as a result of the draconian policies of Trump. We cannot forget. pic.twitter.com/g4h2Ry3uwr

I will be in court in Houston tmrw am seeking the release of Antony, who was taken from his mother Elsa in late May. Elsa was deported to Guatemala without him and we have been working to reunite them. This pic was taken in July when Elsa protested at Ms. Nielson’s hotel. pic.twitter.com/g70obQtdgG

.@ricardo_de_anda & I appeared in ct today to attempt to allow us to take our client Antony home to mom in Guatemala TODAY. The govt opposed our request – he will now have to stay perhaps another 2 mos here. He hasn’t seen his mom in 81 days. Trump and his cronies have no heart. pic.twitter.com/hD0AZHgIoQ
