The Supreme Court declined to review lawyer Michael Avenatti's conviction for attempting to extort up to $25 million from Nike. Avenatti, known for representing Stormy Daniels in legal battles against former President Trump, was convicted of extortion and fraud charges related to threatening to tarnish Nike's reputation if he wasn't paid. Avenatti's appeal against the conviction was rejected by the court, upholding his 2 1/2-year prison sentence in the Nike case and his 14-year sentence for other financial crimes. Justice Brett Kavanaugh did not participate in the court's decision.
