Avenatti, 47, is a Newport Beach plaintiffs’ lawyer who specializes in lawsuits against powerful companies accused of wrongdoing.
Avenatti’s professional history poses political challenges, though. He chaired the company that ran the troubled Tully’s Coffee chain in Washington state as it shut down its outlets and struggled with lawsuits over delinquent rent and liens for unpaid payroll taxes.
Also, Eagan Avenatti, the Newport Beach law firm he runs as managing partner, emerged in March from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Since then, it has been mired in U.S. Bankruptcy Court proceedings over its default on millions of dollars in debt and $880,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest that it owes the Internal Revenue Service.

While I admit I don't know much about the guy or his political views I am Leary of any guy who specializes in lawsuits against powerful companies for wrong doing all while the company he is a managing partner in is in bankruptcy, and owes over $800K in back taxes to the IRS.
Thanks for that information. I assume I could have researched the man but just by his interview, didn't seem like a Logical candidate for POTUS.
