Michael Avenatti, the attorney for Stormy Daniels and Julie Swetnick – one of the Kavanaugh accusers – has recently shut down accusations of domestic violence after being arrested near his Los Angeles apartment on Wednesday. 

Avenatti told reporters, “I have never struck a woman, I never will strike a woman.” Shortly after his Wednesday arrest, he posted his $50,000 bail. 

The lawyer claimed to have been a supporter of women’s rights throughout his career and has no doubt that he will be acquitted of any wrongdoing. 

While police waited to make details of the incident public, Officer Tony Im, an LAPD spokesman, revealed that the victim has evident injuries. 

Avenatti, who found fame representing Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who claims to have had an affair with Donald Trump in 2006, released a statement through his law firm calling the domestic violence allegation “completely bogus,” and one that was fabricated with the intention of damaging his career. 

“I wish to thank … the LAPD for their professionalism,” Avenatti said a statement. “They were only doing their jobs in light of the completely bogus allegations against me.”

“I have never been physically abusive in my life nor was I last night. Any accusations to the contrary are fabricated and meant to do harm to my reputation. I look forward to being fully…

The widow of a missionary who was killed last month says she forgives the man who shot her husband.

Stephanie Wesco said she “has no bitterness in her soul against anyone.”

Stephanie was riding in a car with her husband Charles Truman Wesco when he was shot in the head during a firefight between separatists and soldiers in Cameroon.

Wesco had eight children.

“We’ve all lost a friend, haven’t we?” said Pastor Randy King at a service for Wesco. “Charles definitely loved the people of Cameroon. So do we, having lived there with those precious people for 30 years. We love the Cameroonians. All of them, including the person who killed Charles.

“We love them because Christ first loved us and came to save us from our sins,” he continued.  

King said Stephanie and her family was praying for the man who shot Wesco.

“We do not know the name of that man. But I pray as a missionary to Cameroon that I or her brother Ben Sinclair might one day have the opportunity to meet Charles’ killer to express our forgiveness to him and in love, seek to lead him to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior that he might also receive God’s forgiveness for what he did.”

In a message to family and friends, Stephanie said that her husband’s life goal was to help “others love Jesus and serve him.”

“My prayer is that somehow someway Jesus will be…

Will Graham, grandson of the late evangelist Billy Graham, has urged Christians to help victims of the California wildfires, saying that believers “should be the first ones to be responding because we represent the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.”

“I think as Christians, we should be the first ones to be responding because we represent the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, and we should be the first ones responding to anybody in need,” Graham told CBN News.

“Pray with them; help with physical needs as well, and there’s going to be a lot of physical needs going forward,” he continued.

California is experiencing the deadliest wildfires in its history, as at least 59 people have died and some 130 people remain unaccounted for, including many in their 80s and 90s. The number of those missing, authorities say, is only expected to rise.

Just 35 percent contained as of Thursday morning, the “Camp Fire” alone has destroyed a staggering 8,650 homes and scorched 138,000 acres in Northern California. Overall, more than 10,000 structures have burned down, officials said. As a result of the fires, air quality alerts have been…

A federal appeals court is considering whether Christian private schools can be banned from offering a public prayer over the loudspeakers if the game is a state-run championship. 

The controversy began in 2015 when Cambridge Christian School in Florida advanced to the state 2A division championship game against University Christian School. Both schools wanted to offer a pre-game prayer over the loudspeakers in following with their home stadium tradition, but the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) — which ran the event — declined their request. The game was played at Camping World Stadium (then called the Citrus Bowl) in Orlando. 

Cambridge Christian School sued the FHSAA and lost at the district level but appealed to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which heard the case in September. Both sides are now awaiting a decision. 

First Liberty Institute is representing the school.

“Just think about how far the consequences go,” First Liberty said in a post on its website this month. “If state officials can discriminate against two private, Christian schools and prevent them from praying in public, it won’t be long before they pick and choose other types of speech to censor. And so we ask: Where does this assault on free speech stop?”

The appeals court is one level below the U.S. Supreme Court.

“We need…
