Remember when people in the liberal media thought Michael Avenatti was a serious contender for president?

Those days are long over.

Avenatti was arrested by federal agents in California on Tuesday night.

Michael Avenatti’s Nike extortion trial is now in “chaos” after his new arrest for allegedly concealing cash to fund his lavish lifestyle amid mounting legal woes, a judge said Wednesday.

The loudmouth lawyer who rocketed to fame through feuds with President Trump was slapped in cuffs by federal agents late Tuesday as he appeared for a California state bar hearing in downtown Los Angeles to possibly suspend his law license.

Michael Avenatti Arrested by Feds at California State Bar Hearing

Ex-Stormy Daniels lawyer and Trump antagonist Michael Avenatti was led out of the State Bar Court in Los Angeles by federal agents on Tuesday evening.

The arrest occurred outside the disciplinary hearing in which the State Bar of California has accused the hard-charging, tough-talking attorney of using a doctored document to scam a client out of nearly $840,000, funneling money from a lawsuit settlement fund to his own personal use.

The State Bar of California, the official attorney licensing agency, has sought to put Avenatti on “involuntary inactive status,” setting in motion a timeline for disbarment proceedings.

Here’s a photo of him being taken into custody:

The folks at CNN must be very sad.
