BREAKING: Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti convicted of stealing $300K from Stormy Daniels.
He also is awaiting a retrial in Los Angeles on charges that he ripped off clients and others for millions of dollars. He represented himself last year for six weeks before a mistrial resulted.
When Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, was raided by the FBI in connection with tax evasion and payments made to women on Trump’s behalf, Avenatti contributed to the spectacle by bringing Daniels to the federal courthouse.The relationship between the two fell apart after Daniels said she learned that Avenatti had taken a share of her $800,000 book deal for himself.
Prosecutors argued Avenatti was trying to portray Daniels as crazy — what they called a “blame the victim” defense that failed to support his claim he was owed the money after spending millions of dollars representing Daniels.
