Avenatti ordered to pay $4.8 million in back pay to attorney at his former law firm

Porn performer lawyer, Michael Avenatti, who represented Stormy Daniels and found a home and makes his bed at the Comedy News Network (CNN) where he attacked President Trump almost daily, alleging he slept with his client, was ordered to pay $4.8 million to his former law firm, a California judge ruled on Monday.

Avenatti, one of the worst lawyers to come down the pike, also represented Julie Swetnick, another woman who claims that a gang rape ring, run by Justice Brett Kavanaugh of the U.S. Supreme Court, which was summarily found not to be in the least bit credible.

It's also rumored that Avenatti is considering the 2020 election as the Democratic presidential candidate. Can you imagine if he made it and went head-to-head with President Trump? That would be the most entertaining election in the history of the universe!

The judge at the hearing in Los Angeles County Superior Court said Avenatti [who did not attend the hearing] must pay $4.8 million because he personally guaranteed a settlement with attorney Jason Frank in a lawsuit over back pay. Frank alleged the firm misstated its profits and he was owed the millions.

Avenatti had tried to delay the hearing by having the matter moved to federal court, but Superior Court Judge Dennis Landin denied the request, seeing it as a delaying tactic.

Monday's decision comes after an earlier ruling from a U.S. bankruptcy court judge who ordered Avenatti's former firm to pay $10 million to Frank.

So what does Avenatti do? He attacks the attacker saying that Frank owes him and the firm $12 million "for his fraud," but of course, he provided no details of what constituted the alleged fraud.

The shylock lawyer had another recent setback a day after The Daily Beast wrote how Avenatti reportedly lived an extravagant lifestyle while owing millions of dollars in unpaid taxes.

Last week, a federal judge tossed out a defamation lawsuit brought by Avenatti on behalf of Stormy Daniels against President Trump.

"I just beat in a big case. ... Beat him badly. In fact, he has to pay me legal fees," Trump told Fox Business' Trish Regan. "I don't think he has any money, but he and [Stormy Daniels] have to pay me a lot of legal fees."
