A Los Angeles judge has ordered Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who sued President Donald Trump on behalf of porn star Stormy Daniels, to pay $4.85 million to a former contract attorney at his firm, according to the lawyer who brought the case.

The judge’s order came from the bench at a hearing on Monday, noted Frank’s lawyer, Eric George of Los Angeles-based Browne George Ross.
