Michael Avenatti, the befallen lawyer who became a Democrat hero for representing pornographic actress Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, was found guilty by a jury on Friday of cheating his former client out of money owed for her book about an alleged affair with Trump.

Avenatti was convicted on charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in connection with cheating Daniels out of nearly $300,000 in proceeds for her book, Full Disclosure. The disgraced attorney faces a maximum prison penalty of 20 years for the wire fraud charge, while the aggravated identity theft charge carries a two-year jail term............
