This is too rich to leave alone.
That creepy porn lawyer
For those who don’t remember who Michael Avenatti is, he was the lawyer for Stormy Daniels, a very loud anti Trumper, and was seriously being touted as a Democrat presidential candidate to run against Trump in 2020.
His most endearing quality to his supporters in the Democrat Party? He doesn’t like Trump. Apparently, that’s all it takes anymore.
So anyway, today it drops that avenatti has been charged in a 20 million dollar fraud scheme.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who represented adult film star Stormy Daniels in her legal battles with U.S. President Donald Trump, was charged Monday with extortion in what a federal prosecutor called an attempt to “shake down” Nike Inc for over $20 million.
Avenatti, who was also hit with separate federal charges of embezzlement and fraud in California, was arrested in New York and was scheduled to make his initial court appearance later in the day, authorities said.
Somehow, I suspect that Avenatti will not be running for president.
