Avenatti pleads not guilty on charges of cheating, lying

FILE - In this April 1, 2019 file photo, attorney Michael Avenatti arrives at federal court in Santa Ana, Calif. Avenatti is expected to be arraigned Monday, April 29, 2019, on charges that he stole millions of dollars from clients, cheated on his taxes and lied to investigators.

He declined to comment after the hearing and referred reporters to an earlier statement he gave about the right to be presumed innocent. Prosecutors have said Avenatti embezzled settlement funds and proceeds from other matters he handled for five clients and doled out small portions, sometimes labeling them as advances to prevent thefts from being discovered.

Initially, Avenatti said he would represent himself on Monday after telling the judge he was finalizing an agreement with a private attorney. The judge asked a public defender to stand in and represent him solely for Monday’s arraignment.

Is that all!

Interesting timing for these charges... Putin would be proud of his protege.

Is he still running for President in 2020? Or has that ship sailed?

So you do know how to use the word 'lie' in a sentence. Now use it when Trump lies.

a typical day at Goldman Sux😐

The man is a walking JohnGrisham novel🙄🙄🙄🙄

They cheat to get into college.. and then expect the cheating to stop on the job. Cheating is a natural body function in America...

Sure you didn't thief

It’s that sleezy, creepy, slip and fall, porn attorney! Eww!

The hero of the resistance.......

I thought he said that he could beat President Trump, since his son Don Jr will be indicted. 🤔

HaHa.

His reason for how he got the money is that they gave it to him.

The Democrats great hope is a thief. Fitting

CNN brianstelter will have him on all week I’m assuming

I think when people plead not guilty to crimes they committed they should be charged with perjury on top of the other crimes MichaelAvenatti

Lock him uuuuuuup!!!

Reading this is like driving slowly past a car accident, you just gotta look.

Well I guess he’s f*ked. What a difference a year makes. As hard as he fought for Stormy, it made no difference to conservatives. And now his credibility is gone. Lies, scandals, empty promises, bad deals... He’s almost as slimy as the President of the United Stares.

Awesome!

Creepy porn lawyer!

Although they say a man is measured by his enemies, however and in the case of Avenatti, he pissed off the wrong person who runs the show.

Attorney Michael Avenatti, a Democrat and possibly candidate for 2020 pleads not guilty to thief.

Must be nice to be a democrat. Just lie like Jussie.

Lock him and Cohen up and throw away the key. We're tired of hearing from them.

You mean ‘Democratic Presidential hopeful’ Avenatti? Say it ain’t so. Now who will CNN endorse?

Surprised he’s not working for the White House. Sounds like he’d fit right in.

What a clown. Can’t believe he was actually considering a 2020 presidential run.

Send in Mueller to investigate!!

I’ll give Avenatti the same benefit of the doubt he gave Kavanaugh. None.

Good luck with that!

I've heard this story before, he becomes president in the end.

*Former democratic presidential hopeful, Michael Avenatti. Remember when he said only a fighter, like him could beat trump. Lol

Typical liberal!

Why is this guy even a story.

basta

Nobody cares 👎

Facing long jail years
