As the lawyer for adult film star Stormy Daniels, Michael Avenatti has been a persistent thorn in Donald Trump's side.

But in the last few days, Avenatti has gone a step further, strongly suggesting he is ready to take on the president in the 2020 elections and positioning himself as someone tough enough to take on Trump in a bare-knuckles battle for the White House.

"I'm going to put Donald Trump on trial," he said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."
He said the biggest national security threats facing the US are "North Korea and Iran." Avenatti said Trump's high-profile meeting in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had amounted to little more than "a photo-op in front of some flags and a red carpet."
