As he walked out of the police station Wednesday, Avenatti told reporters he “has never struck a woman.”
…
Avenatti, a 2020 Democrat hopeful, says he’s confident he will be fully exonerated after police complete a thorough investigation.
Los Angeles police said Avenatti was arrested Wednesday afternoon and his bail was set at $50,000.
Officer Tony Im, a police spokesman, said the victim had visible injuries. He declined to provide details about the victim’s relationship to Avenatti.
According to other law enforcement sources, the alleged victim’s face was “swollen and bruised” with “red marks” on both cheeks.
You gotta hand it to Michael “she hit me first” Avenatti. He’s got those lawyer talking points down.
