A 4-Chan user is claiming that he and his girlfriend tricked Michael Avenatti into thinking that they had evidence of sexual misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh.

Buzz Feed News claims to have talked to Avenatti:
Just spoke with @MichaelAvenatti. He said the rumor that he was pranked by 4chan into believing he had a Kavanaugh accuser “is absolutely ludicrousâ€
“It is a complete fabrication. It has got zero credibility.â€

Avenatti: “I don’t know who is planting this but it sounds like its someone supportive of Kavanaughâ€
He would not say how he has communicated with the accuser, how he vetted the allegations, or provide other information about her.

When I asked if the 4chan stuff was connected to him locking his twitter account he said “one has nothing to do with the other.”
“I have receive an increase level of bot and troll activity, as well as countless threats made in the last 48 hours, including physical threats.”

The only thing Avenatti would say about the accuser was to reiterate his comments from earlier today that he expects her to public in the next 36 hours. He said that was still the timeline.

We can’t confirm that he was tricked by these 4Chan users but all the evidence points to it. Avenatti locked his Twitter account today after an apparent rise in Trump bots and trolls attacking him.
