LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. prosecutors on two coasts have charged President Donald Trump critic and attorney Michael Avenatti with extortion and bank and wire fraud.

A spokesman for the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles said Avenatti was arrested Monday in New York.

Spokesman Ciaran McEvoy says the lawyer best known for representing porn actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against Trump faces federal charges in New York and California.

In the New York case, he was accused of threatening to use his ability to get publicity to harm the sports apparel giant Nike.

In the California case, Avenatti was accused of embezzling a client’s money to pay his own expenses and debts — as well as those of his coffee business and law firm. The U.S. attorney’s office also said he defrauded a bank by using phony tax returns to obtain millions of dollars in loans.

Waiting for the frog-march photos.

I try not to rejoice at learning of illegal doings, but I am glad a bit more swamp is being drained.

Trump's fault

"Trump may have created the environment in which someone like Avenatti could be taken semi-seriously as a presidential candidate. But Avenatti's fall also proves there is only one Donald Trump out there."https://t.co/ehFzXyjR1P

Racism. How is his extortion different from what sharpton and Jackson have pulled for years?.

From Facebook. So, Avenatti goes down faster than Stormy on set.

TechMan · « **Reply #12 on:** March 26, 2019, 08:03:41 AM »

Well look at that he gets charged on both coasts at the same time and again fly over country is nowhere in the mix.

The media just can't get to the point of blaming themselves.

He may prove to have too much white, cis-male, hetero privilege to be given such treatment.

They were smart enough to do it without anyone recording them.

I wonder if going blackface at this point would help or hinder him in his quest for innocence?

It would be a hell of a distraction.

What if he just said he identified as a non-white male?
