Michael Avenatti, an attorney known for his opposition to President Trump, is accused of trying to extort Nike. He has been charged with federal charges related to his efforts to secure millions of dollars from Nike in exchange for not holding a press conference about alleged recruitment misconduct by the company. The lack of connection between Avenatti's client's injury and his demands as an investigator places him outside of acceptable advocacy and into extortion territory, according to criminal defense attorney Jeremy Saland.

The document discusses a recent incident where President Trump called adult-film star Stormy Daniels "Horseface" and threatened to "go after" her after winning a court victory over his alleged affair with her. This has led to a heated exchange between the two, with Daniels's attorney calling Trump a "disgusting misogynist" and a "liar" who has dishonored his family and country. The document also mentions that a federal judge in California threw out Daniels's defamation lawsuit against Trump and ordered her to repay the president's legal fees.
