Get ready for a crowing Trump Tweetstorm

The law firm of Michael Avenatti, who represents adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, was served with a $10 million settlement fine on Tuesday in bankruptcy court over a lapsed payment agreement.

The Eagan Avenatti law firm will be required to pay the sum after Avenatti failed to follow through in paying $2 million to a former associate, Jason Frank, to settle the firm's bankruptcy, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Avenatti's firm also owes back taxes to the IRS that includes more than $1.3 million in employee taxes that it never handed over to the government, the Justice Department reportedly said at the hearing.

The name partner, who agreed to personally pay back $1.5 million of the total sum, has missed an installment and will reportedly soon face legal action by the federal government to demand payment.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 3:15pm:

No tweets yet.  Trump is afraid of Cohen.

But Cohen is afraid of something else:







Because there's no other way on earth to let those people have the information without putting it on Twitter?
Avenatti blasted the LA Times on Twitter Tuesday over a report that a $10 million judgment was rendered against one of Avenatti’s law firms in Bankruptcy Court.

“Nonsense,” Avenatti wrote on his now blocked account — without challenging any facts presented in the LA Times piece. “Completely different law firm – no ties to Daniels case. Irrelevant. Over blown. Sensational reporting at its finest. Check the facts next time please and report accurately.”
