The Michael Avenatti Files — How did a bankrupt attorney come across $8 million after picking up porn star client Stormy Daniels?
Porn star lawyer Michael Avenatti is a huge hit with the Democrat-media complex.
The attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels has held 108 interviews on cable news outlets MSNBC and CNN since March 7th.
Avenatti is a huge hit with the liberal elites who are unabashedly determined to take down President Trump.
But who is Michael Avenatti?
Last week Avenatti leaked bank records from Trump attorney Michael Cohen less than a month after the FBI raided Cohen’s office and home.
Avenatti was on all the cable and news programs touting his great find on Cohen’s wealth.
But what about Michael Avenatti?
As attorney Robert Barnes has discovered Michael Avenatti has a very disturbing and possibly criminal past.
Avenatti is deeply in debt — Not just with his failed coffee company but with his law firm which failed to even file his law firm’s income tax returns for 2014, 2015, and 2016.
On Thursday May 10th Michael Avenatti released a statement saying all fees and and expenses of his case with porn star Stormy Daniels “have either been funded by our client, Ms. Stephanie Clifford, or by donations from our crowdjustice.com page.
But is this a true statement? Is all of Michael Avenatti’s income from Stormy Daniels coming from a crowdsource page?
Or is this just another Avenatti lie?
In December 2017 court documents Michael Avenatti declared only $412,000 in total assets.
This form by Avenatti was filed with the bankruptcy court.

As attorney Robert Barnes reported earlier today in January 2018 Michael Avenatti got an unidentified source of income that allowed him to pay:
** $4.85 Million to his law firm employees he defrauded
** Close to $2 Million in back taxes for payroll taxes on his law firm
** Nearly another $1 million to other creditors
This occured at the same time he picked up a new client — Stormy Daniels.
