Michael Avenatti Appeared On CNN And MSNBC Over 100 Times In 10-Week Period
In 2018

Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti appeared on CNN and MSNBC over 100 times
during a 10-week period in spring 2018.

Avenatti faced multiple indictments Wednesday, including being accused of
fraud and aggravated identity theft charges related to adult film star
Stephanie Clifford, professionally known as Stormy Daniels. He allegedly
forged Daniels

signature and used fake documents to persuade an agent to divert over a
quarter-of-a-million dollars in payment from the porn star’s book advance.

He became a regular guest on CNN and MSNBC last spring. During 10 weeks in
2018 from March to May, Avenatti appeared on cable news 147 times, according
to Newsbusters
<https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/bill-dagostino/2018/05/16/update-porn-
star-lawyer-interviewed-147-times-10-weeks> . Of those appearances, 131 of
them came on either CNN or MSNBC, with CNN topping MSNBC 74-57.

Avenatti most frequently appeared on CNN, making 20 appearances on “Anderson
Cooper 360.” He also made 16 appearances on MSNBC’s “The Last Word with
Lawrence O’Donnell.” (RELATED: CNN Hosts Avenatti 59 Times In Two Months)

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York

the indictment against Avenatti for allegations that he demanded Nike pay
him and a colleague $20 million, or else he would release damaging
information about the company, back in March.

A second set of charges against Avenatti were filed in a California federal
court accusing the lawyer of embezzling client funds to finance his own
expenses. (RELATED: Donald Trump Jr. Gets Last Laugh On Avenatti Indictment:

Avenatti tweeted about a planned press conference in which he would detail
“a major high school/college basketball scandal” involving Nike less than an
hour before the news of the indictment was announced.

According to an analysis by The Washington Free Beacon

networks alone have earned him nearly
