Judge Gives Avenatti A Choice: Give Up TV Or Leave My Court

U.S. District Court Judge Kimba Wood forcefully reprimanded attorney Michael Avenatti Wednesday during a hearing on his motion to intervene in the federal case against embattled Trump-fixer Michael Cohen, advising that he must curtail his media appearances if he hopes to participate in the proceedings.

Following Wednesday’s conference, Avenatti withdrew his motion to appear in the Cohen case.
