Stormy Daniels’s attorney said he hasn’t yet received any interview requests to appear on Fox News.

“I’ve been invited to give interviews to literally hundreds of media outlets around the world,” Michael Avenatti said during an interview on MSNBC.

“What is shocking to me is, I haven’t received a single request, not one, from Fox News,” he said.

He said Fox News has reached out to him for copies of documents and “things of that nature.”

“And I’ve cooperated with them just like I have with other networks, and I’ve been prompt in attending to their request,” he said. “But I haven’t received a single interview request, not one, from Fox News.”

He was asked during the interview whether he thinks Fox News is “afraid of this story.”

“I don’t know what it is. … My feelings are hurt they don’t want to hear from me,” Avenatti joked.

After this story’s publication, a Fox News spokesperson told The Hill that Avenatti would be appearing Tuesday on Fox News @ Night with Shannon Bream.

Daniels — whose real name is Stephanie Clifford — filed a lawsuit earlier this month in an effort to void a nondisclosure agreement that she says bars her from speaking publicly about her alleged affair with Trump more than a decade ago.

Daniels was paid $130,000 by Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen weeks before the 2016 presidential election. She says that payment was intended to buy her silence about the affair.

The White House has denied Trump had an affair with Daniels.

Cohen has acknowledged he paid Daniels $130,000 in 2016 and has insisted it came from his own personal funds and was not tied to Trump’s campaign. Trump claimed in court papers last week that Daniels has repeatedly violated the nondisclosure agreement and is seeking $20 million in damages.

Avenatti said this past weekend that an upcoming CBS interview with his client will show she is “absolutely credible” in her allegations that she had an affair with Trump.
