A Los Angeles judge on Monday ordered attorney Michael Avenatti, who represents adult film star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Donald Trump, to pay a former law partner $4.85 million as part of a settlement agreement.

Jason Frank, a former employee at Avenatti’s law firm, and his attorney said they were pleased with Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Dennis J. Landin’s ruling. Avenatti was not present at the proceedings.
