NEW YORK — Michael Avenatti was convicted Friday of charges he cheated the porn actor Stormy Daniels out of nearly $300,000 she was supposed to get for writing a book about an alleged tryst with former President Donald Trump.

Avenatti, who acted as his own lawyer, stared straight ahead as the verdict was read. It was another crushing defeat for the California lawyer, who has faced legal problems after briefly rising to fame as one of Trump's leading antagonists on cable news.

"I'm very disappointed in the jury's verdict," Avenatti told reporters outside the federal courtroom in New York. "I'm looking forward to a full adjudication of all the issues on appeal."

Such upstanding democrats.

"Adult film actress?" Why not say it as it is.

Leftists always end up eating their own. It's in their makeup.

I won't bring up the double entendre of that last bit. lol.

But from the article:

U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman ordered Avenatti to surrender Monday to U.S. marshals in California. Avenatti has delayed serving a 2 1/2-year prison sentence for his 2020 conviction in an extortion case while waiting for the book proceeds trial and the retrial of a fraud case in a California federal court.

Now that's one busy guy!
