Avenatti weighed in with answers in the hereinafter tweets:
Too bad @Mark_Penn didn’t do any basic research for his ridiculous piece in The Hill. Had he merely bothered to review google or this feed, he would know exactly who is paying me. And we did nothing wrong re the release of the financial info. #basta

Who is paying my legal bills? Yet again, here is the answer (in Dropbox). The next time you see a "journalist" ask this same question, please join me in mocking them for their inability to do basic research. #bastahttps://t.co/3KmODQxb69

What Happens Going Forward?
Avenatti’s Cohen-related tweets largely contributed to the current investigations into his own business dealings. Questions are unlikely to subside anytime soon.
On Thursday morning, The Hill published a detailed op-ed questioning Avenatti’s funding, practices, and reliability.
