This was a tweet that was updated to my browser, but because there was a large blank area following it, I refreshed the browser thinking some image just didn't get pulled in properly. When I did that, the tweet disappeared. The part of the tweet that remains Google indexed has an elipses where the tweet said "in this manner (see below)." I assume there was something that was either prejudicial to Avenatti's case, he realized it could actually help Cohen's attorneys, or he found out something only once he posted the tweet.
There could be another reason. Now that it's deleted, of course, I'm more curious.
It may be too soon to find media reports of the incident, but I did find this while searching:
Still poking the bear. And knowing the bear, it just might work. At the same time, Avenatti calls out His Lordship as an incompetent coward:Avenatti is harnessing the same forces as his opponent, the President of the United States, working a thirsty media for the coverage he needs in a titanic public relations battle against one of the all-time consumers of oxygen. (We at Esquire can always appreciate the introduction of an exciting new character to the national drama.) He's a staple of late-night monologues, a lightning rod for the enraged MAGA faithful, and an emerging talisman of the #Resistance movement.
[...]
The spotlight has also brought scrutiny on Avenatti, and a court's $10 million judgment against him last week in a dispute with an ex-employee at his former firm has seen him answering some unwanted questions. So, too, did a New York Times report Friday suggesting Avenatti sought funding for the Daniels case from networks of Democratic donors, in contrast to his previous claims they did not seek money from major donors to avoid politicizing the case. That last part has always been inevitable—as has some of his response to the negative coverage.
[...]
Avenatti remains one of the great thorns in the Trumpian side, and seemingly a genuine believer that the behavior of the president and his lawyer with respect to Avenatti's own client is of vital public interest.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway."He can't handle a direct confrontation with me. He knows that I'll hand him his ass."
So you think he's afraid of you?
"I do. And I think he should be."
How do you think he chooses his targets then?
"He chooses targets that he perceives to be weak. Like most bullies."

Do you think that Mr. Trump knows what's illegal or immoral and he doesn't care? Or, do you think he struggles to even see those distinctions?
[...]
"Oh, I think he understands the distinctions, but he just doesn't give a shit."
UPDATE:
Well, that was quick: It's back. The blank spot was a pdf place holder.
