Avenatti’s threats came less than 12 hours after @SaysSimonson and I published this: https://t.co/rPHuQls90a

It looks like @MichaelAvenatti threatened to sue you for defamation based on reporting known lies — not for “reporting on him.”

I can’t speak to the veracity of the claims in the story, but it doesn’t exactly help your case that you misrepresented an email that we can all read. https://t.co/Hl1KWCkGZz
