'At trial, it became clear that Avenatti's life had become stealing from one hand (here, his clients) to pay other hands.'

Flamboyant anti-Trump lawyer Michael Avenatti brought out the tears as he was sentenced in federal court on Thursday.

During her Friday show, Nicolle Wallace talked about the threat from far-right militias and intimated it might require a drone strike.

The former attorney for Stormy Daniels has been accused of violating the terms of his temporary release after his extortion conviction.

Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti was known as the face of the so-called left-wing "resistance" before his fraud-related arrest.

Avenatti's visage should have tipped viewers off to the fact they were watching one of the most unctuous cultural ambulance chasers in recent memory.

The verdict was returned Friday by a Manhattan federal jury after it deliberated charges of attempted extortion and honest services fraud.

US District Judge Paul G. Gardephe said allegations of lies and deceit involving Avenatti's past clients are 'highly relevant.'

Court documents called the high-profile attorney 'a substantial danger to the community' and said that he should not be granted bail.

Those debts were owed to former clients, one of more former law partners, both of his ex-wives for child and spousal support in arrears, and an unidentified lawyer.
