Avenatti suggested during an interview on AM Joy, an MSNBC show, that special counsel Robert Mueller needs to investigate, as part of the Russia probe, Squire Patton Boggs. The law firm allegedly met with Cohen, according to Newsweek.

Avenatti said, “Shortly after the election, Michael Cohen forms a relationship with a very-well known law firm in Washington, D.C., by the name of Patton Boggs. And Patton Boggs has a long history of lobbying and being involved between companies and the U.S. government, that’s a very unusual relationship to have been formed right after the election.”

Avenatti questions why a “reputable law firm” would get together with Cohen. “What did Michael Cohen sell to Patton Boggs at it related to the idea that they were going to allow Michael Cohen come to the law firm? It’s clear to me what he sold them. What he sold them was a book of clients, a book of corporations or individuals that had already retained him for access to the U.S. president,” Avenatti added.

He concluded in the interview, “That needs to be the next inquiry, what did Patton Boggs know, and when did they know it? Did they know that Michael Cohen was lobbying? Did they not know it?”

Avenatti goes on to warn others that have had contact with Cohen in a tweet. He wrote, “If you’re out there and you have stuff related to your relationships with #MichaelCohen that you’re concerned are going to come out you should be concerned because they are going to come out… that’s a stern warning this #SaturdayMorning #AMJoy.”
