Michael Avenatti is considering testifying at his New York extortion trial after the youth basketball coach he represented in a dispute with Nike said he felt betrayed by the famed attorney
Avenatti wants to know whether the judge would exclude questions involving Stormy Daniels and another criminal case in Los Angeles before making a decision, his attorney, Scott Srebnick, said Friday.Avenatti, best known for representing Daniels when the adult film star sued President Donald Trump, is on trial for allegedly threatening to publicly accuse Nike employees of improper and illegal conduct unless the company paid him up to $25 million.
Avenatti is accused of telling Nike lawyers that he would disclose Franklin's allegations at a press conference, according to court papers, unless the company made millions in payments to him and another lawyer, Mark Geragos, by hiring them to conduct an"internal investigation."Geragos will not testify in Avenatti's trial, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, the judge said.
