Stormy Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti will not be charged with felony domestic violence by the Los Angeles County district attorney.

Avenatti was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence last week.

Avenatti said on Twitter that he will focus his efforts on bringing down President Donald Trump and his "unethical cronies."

UPDATE:

Los Angeles prosecutor declines felony case against Avenatti

By BRIAN MELLEY

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles district attorney declined to prosecute attorney Michael Avenatti on felony domestic abuse charges on Wednesday and referred allegations that he roughed up his girlfriend to the city attorney for a possible misdemeanor case.

Avenatti, 47, was arrested on a felony domestic violence charge last week after his girlfriend told police he abused her at his Los Angeles apartment following an argument.

A restraining order against Avenatti was issued after actress Mareli Miniutti said he dragged her by the arm across a bedroom floor.

Avenatti, who had called the allegations "completely false" and a fabrication, said in a statement he was thankful the district attorney had rejected the charges.
