Supreme Court Rejects Michael Avenatti's Nike Extortion Appeal

The Supreme Court has rejected Michael Avenatti's appeal of his convictions for attempting to extort Nike, leaving his extortion and fraud convictions in place. Avenatti, who was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for the Nike case, is also serving time for other legal issues, including defrauding clients and stealing money from Stormy Daniels. Justice Brett Kavanaugh did not participate in the decision, possibly due to Avenatti's involvement in Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing.
