Cite your source for Avenatti admitting he hit someone.

My source is CNN for the following:
In a statement, Avenatti called the allegations "completely bogus."
"I wish to thank the hard working men and woman of the LAPD for their professionalism they were only doing their jobs in light of the completely bogus allegations against me," he said. "I have never been physically abusive in my life nor was I last night. Any accusations to the contrary are fabricated and meant to do harm to my reputation. I look forward to being fully exonerated."
"I wish to thank the hard working men and woman of the LAPD for their professionalism they were only doing their jobs in light of the completely bogus allegations against me," he said. "I have never been physically abusive in my life nor was I last night. Any accusations to the contrary are fabricated and meant to do harm to my reputation. I look forward to being fully exonerated."
As for having supporters for 2020, I didn't say he may have been set up regarding 2020. He is a thorn in the side of Trump, causing Trump to have whiny fits on twitter about Avenatti numerous times. That's reason enough.
We've seen that Stormy Daniel was approached by a stranger and apparently warned, at one point, to back off. She had become a problem for Trump.
So it's not like these things aren't done. Especially when you're talking about a group that behaves much like a mobster gang.
Looking forward to your citation to a legitimate news organization for your claim that he admitted being "physically abusive," esp since you can see above, there is a direct quote by a legitimate news organization of him saying the opposite.

TMZ is a Trumper MAGA organization. It's against the rules to use things like that as sources.

Harvey Levin/TMZ & Trump are friends. TMZ was part of Trump's media to get him elected.

Not even hearsay. TMZ/Harvey Levin is MAGA. And it's not a news organization...

Similar "over reach", as against his client Stephanie Clifford in Columbus Ohio?
