Latest on Avenatti
(snip - from 11-28) ...Mr. Avenatti has strongly denied the allegations (domestic abuse). Last week, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced that the matter, which was initially being investigated as an alleged felony, had been referred to the city attorney’s office for “misdemeanor filing consideration.” A spokesman for the city attorney’s office said Wednesday that the case “is currently under review.”

Michael Avenatti Enlists Mark Geragos for Legal Advice Amid Assault Probe
The L.A. District Attorney's office on Nov. 21 announced that it wouldn't pursue a felony charge, and it has referred the matter to the city attorney's office "for misdemeanor filing consideration." A source with knowledge of the situation says getting the DA to drop the matter was Geragos' primary task, and moving forward he'll serve as an adviser, not as Avenatti's litigator.
His next challenge is likely helping Avenatti navigate the fallout of the bombshell Daily Beast story in which Daniels said her lawyer sued Donald Trump for defamation against her wishes. "I'm tremendously grateful to him for aggressively representing me in my fight to regain my voice," she told the website. "But in other ways, Michael has not treated me with the respect and deference an attorney should show to a client."
