Legal analyst Alan Dershowitz sparred with Michael Avenatti, the attorney representing Stormy Daniels, on CNN Friday over whether and when Avenatti had conversations with Michael Cohen, President Trump 's former longtime attorney.
In a CNN segment, Dershowitz questioned how Avenatti could speak with Cohen without first consulting Cohen's counsel after reports that Avenatti told Cohen the two men should work together against Trump during a chance dinner encounter last week.
Avenatti responded, rebuking Dershowitz for speaking about conversations Avenatti said Dershowitz had no knowledge about.
"Alan, you really need to start talking only about things that you know about as opposed to things you have no knowledge about," Avenatti said.
Avenatti pressed on in the CNN debate, referencing Dershowitz' claim that he had been uninvited from dinner parties in Martha's Vineyard over his stance on the special counsel investigation.
"You just make it up as you go along," Avenatti added.
Avenatti previously told MSNBC that he would be interested in representing Cohen against Trump if he were willing, and has reportedly urged Cohen to turn on the president.
