Prosecutors said the lawyer threatened to publicly accuse athletic apparel maker Nike of illicitly paying amateur basketball players unless the company paid him millions of dollars. The government said Avenatti also betrayed his client, a youth basketball coach who made the allegations against Nike, by advocating for money for himself instead of the client.
Avenatti addresses extortion and fraud allegations 13:05Nike lawyers who took the stand during the trial said Avenatti told them he would hold a press conference claiming the company illegally paid players. In exchange for not going public, Avenatti told the lawyers in one meeting Nike would have to pay Franklin $1.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!
Well well well CNN so you call yourselves a news station and didn’t even do any of your homework. Over 107 interviews and you allowed Michael Avenatti to be your superstar for so many weeks over the great news of what President Trump has been doing
CNN just lost a great man and a legal mastermind.
And this is Donald Trump's lawyer. 😱
So disappointed in Alvanetti! He should have stayed on an honest path. May have been able to topple 45! JUSTRIDICULOUS
The star on CNN. How much air time did you give this jerk? How many times did he make outlandish statements that you guys at CNN sucked up as unchallenged truth? You are just as bad as him.
Creepy porn lawyer AKA CNN Presidential candidate.
Michael Avenatti deserves all what is coming to him. He went against the man’s code with Stormy Daniels to expose another man sexual activity. Those at cnn saw their hero falls from all those build up.
CNN,S PICK FOR PRESIDENT THAT'S HOW MUCH THEY KNOW DON'T FOLLOW THESE FOOLS!😂
Liberal media darling Michael Avenati onece again cnn ! Lol
To all the people he lobbies to: don't worry he's still going to give you an extra envelope of cash on his way to prison
Awwwww your man got caught with his pants down, you should maybe interview him again see what he has to say
Karma at work. You can’t escape justice this world and the next. Liars not welcomed stay away.
What? He was a CNN favorite guest? 😂 Don’t forget for two years CNN told us every day that Trump had colluded with the Russians, only to have the Mueller Investigation tell us it was all a lie! CNN has no credibility!
Headline should read “CNN’s darling, frequent contributor and guest” Michael Avenatti...
NEVER TRUST ANYONE..!
So sleepy. He would fit right in Trump’s fake administration, even with his poor history with Trump and his hoes.
I Guess CNN IS Sad About This, Being They Wanted Him To Be President!!!!!
CNN's most prized political analyst and next democrat party president
CNN man of the year
As of April of 2019, “CNN was the porn lawyer’s top cable enabler with a whopping 121 appearances; MSNBC earned a close second with 108. Broadcast networks hosted the attorney a combined 24 times (ABC: 12, CBS: 7, NBC: 5).”
He was on your channel 74 times and you gave the criminal lots of airtime! Remember him running for presidency? We do! You’re all sick
Giuliani should be in solitary confinement.
Has he sent you all his visiting orders yet?
The quintessential CNN darling bites the dust.
The lib media darling is exposed. The lib media couldn't get enough of him during their love affair.
😧🤐
Didn't brianstelter refer to him as a serious contender in 2020? Brian probably thought he had a shot at being his running mate. Libtards are so entertaining!
He was the hero and Presidential hopefull of the CNN Cabal CNN just chooses losers
CNN , MSNBC , JoyVBehar 18 months ago....
CNN Please try and get him out of THIS!
Gee whiz, another mainstay on the pansy panel gone. Maybe a prison feed is in order!
What a remarkable ending to how garbage should be dispersed. I wonder if Avanatti will be wearing $3,000 suits in prison? It could be rough on the knees of his pants.
but, that was YOUR guy, remember?
Not surprised, he’s not the president. Only presidents get away with all sorts of BS crimes.
Your main man.. the guy who was going to take POTUS FakeNewsMedia
Is he still on the CNN payroll?
Next...
Hey CNN and all your minions: You were absolutely right. This guy would definitely be the right face of the Democrat Party to run for President. He portrays your Party to the nth degree. Nice to see you admit it.
Karma is a bitch
Has he stopped beating his wife and kids yet? This liberal retard is a real gem. He and Geragos should partner up and form a new law firm called Gerajoker & Always Naughty, LLP.
This is a comical turn of events 😂
Bet this reporting hurt as cnn spent months promoting him as a presidential candidate.
Justice
When he goes to prison, the exciting thing is Trump could join him as soon as we vote his fat con ass out he should be locked up. I hope they can share a nice prison cell.
CNN ARE U SAD LOL
👍👍for justice, and 🖕🖕to CNN for propping the scumbag up bc of the hatred for Trump.
That's you candidate for president CNN?
Riiiight. Nother crimnal gettin off, nuttin new heer...
Another Democrat. Can all these people do is lose 😂
this is America....🙃🤡😝
So he is not your hero any longer?
I guess that's what he gets for not being friends with Trump. We all know if he was, there would be no sentencing.
How sad! Your most favorite guest to bla bla bla! 😂
Wow. Seemed like such a stand up and moral guy?
Oh the Holy Spirit!
Sending my condolences to donlemon and the crew at CNN.
It’s a good thing he cashed in and got in his CNN expert guest spots when he did. Will CNN have exclusive rights to Avenatti’s “from the Pokey” reports?
He gonna see what Stormy been feeling all these years soon. Ass gonna get ground and pound
Such a quality guy...I remember when CNN pundits wanted him to run for President...
You guys loved him! Sorry to hear
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Hey CNN you spent a lot of time on praising him and encouraged him to run for president. Hahaha
I don’t think Herr TRUMP will intervene in this case !!!
He was your darling Fake News, wasn't he?
Dear liberals, now THIS is the example of what a con looks like. It's important to understand the difference.
OMG, I'm so sorry this is happening to you
Ha! And you guys were blowing him on a regular basis. Even Stelter calling for him to run saying he’s vote for him.
CNNs poster boy.
And every CNN talking head wanted him to run for POTUS because he was attacking Trump.
Holy shit cnn not posting bullshit😂😂thats a first
So, does this mean he’s not still going to run for president?
Aw, you mean the sleazy con artist you featured every freaking day for two years? You're gonna have to find another con man to be your anti-Trump hero.
OOOOOHHH THE SWEETEST THING
Mourning at cnn. Are they all wearing black today?
Who?
Did CNN cover this story throughout his trial? Or were they too embarrassed? conditionalfriendship phony
Maybe Barr wants to look into this one too. Or ask Trump for sentencing advice.
Crooked Attorney
when you come at the king, you best not miss.
CNN, he was on your show so much why has he not been on lately, cause like everyone else you have who's lied but you put as gospel you shove to the side for the next lie. Really need to stop.
But wait, you guys basically had him as an anchor with all his airtime & brianstelter thought he could be our next president. LOL. How could this happen to such a good guy?!? CNNisTrash MichaelAvenatti justdoit FakeNewsCNN
😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
gg
The so-called lawyer cnn and other similar outlets glorified when Stormy Daniels had her day of fame. Now they’re all washing their hands of this guy
This should round out his resume to qualify him for superstar status in the DNC but not enough to get him disbarred.
Well well you should be too, this was your Knight in shining armor. You had him on your show constantly, he was your guy to go against president trump ,once again you have egg on your face ,CNN Least Watched media there is.
Avenatti stinks like CNN. They tried to break Trump and Pelosi after them and he is still enjoying his leadership today as a great leader. Nobody can beat Trump.
To bad we can’t sue cnn like Nick Sandmann did for being a shit fake news source, this dumpster fire acting like it’s a news outlet needs to go away.
So is he going to get the Democratic nomination or not?
Didn’t you have him on everyday for a month? And didn’t Tater want him to run for President?
Or even part owner ship!
If I recall, Avenatti was touted by CNN as a star and made over 140 appearances on DNCMedia outlets over a short period of time.
Nike makes the jordans and makes billions. While MichaelJordaan only get percentages and not shares That’s a crime owenjohnswaby billiondollarbandit
Guess that Presidential run is out now.
What is it with people and Nike?
Creepy Porn Lawyer
I honestly had to Google who this guy is, but now I did I learned he has been a bad bad boy. Shame on him and as we say in the military he gets to reek the suck.
Does this mean he’s no longer a CNN contributor? Will he be able to run for POTUS in 2024, or do we have to wait until the sentencing?
