A Judge Told Michael Avenatti He Had to End His Stormy Daniels ‘Publicity Tour.’ So He Dropped the Case

A federal judge gave Michael Avenatti a choice Wednesday: If he wanted to represent his client Stormy Daniels in the federal investigation of President Donald Trump's longtime attorney Michael Cohen, he had to end his "publicity tour" of TV appearances and aggressive tweets about the case.

Avenatti chose instead to drop the case. He was back on MSNBC talking about Cohen less than two hours later.
