Stormy Daniels' Lawyer Michael Avenatti Is Threatening to Sue the Daily Caller
PoliticsMichael Avenatti, the lawyer who represents Stormy Daniels and looks like a hard-nosed federal agent in a made-for-TV movie, is threatening to sue conservative outlet the Daily Caller for libel.
Responding to an unflattering story about Avenatti’s “questionable history,” which the Daily Caller alleges was filled with “bankruptcy filings,” Avenatti on Monday sent a threatening email to Daily Caller reporter Peter Hasson, in which he wrote: “If you and your colleagues do not stop with the hit pieces that are full of lies and defamatory statements, I will have no choice but to sue each of you and your publication for defamation.” The Washington Post points out that Avenatti’s email is a toned-down version of an angry, intimidating email that Donald Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen sent to a journalist in 2015. It’s almost as if they are temperamentally….. similar.
