Attorney and former Presidential hopeful Michael Avenatti charged with extortion

No longer representing Stormy Daniels or running for President, attorney Michael Avenatti will still be appearing in court.

CNN:

The Manhattan US Attorney's office said Monday that it is charging attorney Michael Avenatti 'for attempting to extract more than $20 million in payments from a publicly traded company by threatening to use his ability to garner publicity to inflict substantial financial and reputational harm on the company if his demands were not met.'
