Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for adult film star Stormy Daniels in her legal battles against President Donald Trump, threatened to sue reporters at The Daily Caller News Foundation for writing about his legal and business history.

Avenatti tried to claim his uninvited email was off record, even though TheDCNF never agreed to those terms.

“Let me be clear. If you and your colleagues do not stop with the hit pieces that are full of lies and defamatory statements, I will have no choice but to sue each of you and your publication for defamation,” Avenatti wrote in an email to TheDCNF.

“During that process, we will expose your publication for what it truly is. We will also recover significant damages against each of you that participated personally. So if I were you, I would tell Mr. Trump to find someone else to fabricate things about me.”

“If you think I’m kidding, you really don’t know anything about me. This is the last warning,” he warned.

Avenatti’s threats came after TheDCNF wrote a story on the lawyer’s questionable history. (RELATED: With Avenatti In The Spotlight, His Own Questionable Past Emerges)
