The Los Angeles district attorney declined to prosecute attorney Michael Avenatti on felony domestic abuse charges on Wednesday and referred allegations that he roughed up his girlfriend to the city attorney for a possible misdemeanor case.
Avenatti, 47, was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence last week after his girlfriend told police he abused her at his Los Angeles apartment following an argument.
A restraining order against Avenatti was issued after actress Mareli Miniutti said he dragged her by the arm across a bedroom floor.

Here’s what he said previously about TMZ screwing up the report:
See below: Harvey Levin and @TMZ should be ashamed of themselves. Their "journalism" is nothing of the sort. And other media outlets that reported this info should also be ashamed. TMZ's story was a hit piece filled with bogus "facts" meant to assist Harvey's beloved Trump. pic.twitter.com/b2KHZZOjEX
