President Trump’s legal adviser Rudy Giuliani won’t debate Stormy Daniels’ lawyer — because he doesn’t associate with “pimps,” he said Friday.

The ex-Big Apple mayor was responding to a recent challenge by Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti to hold a live debate on the merits of Trump’s defamation suit against his client.

“I don’t get involved with pimps,” Giuliani told Business Insider. 

“The media loves to give him room because he makes these roundabout charges and they turn out to mean nothing. I think he’s going to get himself in serious trouble,” Giuliani continued.

Avenatti fired back.

“Hey Rudy – It turns out I’m not the only “pimp” you have experience with. History evidently is repeating itself,” he tweeted, referring to a video of Giuliani in drag during a sketch at the 2000 Inner Circle roast, an annual tradition for the City Hall press corps.

In the act, the future president sizes up the then-mayor — sporting a dress and a falsetto — and gets physical, prompting a smack from Giuliani and the rebuke,

“Oh, you dirty boy, you! Donald, I thought you were a gentleman.”

Giuliani joined Trump’s legal team as an adviser last month. Last week, he admitted that Trump reimbursed his personal lawyer Michael Cohen for paying Daniels $130,000 to stay quiet about an affair she claims they had in 2006.

Daniels is suing Trump and Cohen for defamation. She claims in her suit that they violated campaign finance law by forcing her to sign a “hush agreement.” Trump has been insistent that the money was not part of the campaign.
