Stormy Daniels’ former lawyer Michael Avenatti talks Trump in his first interview from prison

Michael Avenatti, the onetime lawyer for Stormy Daniels, was once seen as a hero of the anti-Trump resistance. His on-camera braggadocio and his insistence that his client’s hush money arrangement could spell danger for Donald Trump’s public perception — if not his freedom — made the lawyer into a celebrity of sorts on the left. But then a federal indictment in 2019 changed everything for Avenatti.

He told Melber that he thinks Trump will be convicted, but voiced concern that the case has gone “stale at this juncture.” And he said the choice to file the charges in New York state court was ill-advised. At one point, he even pushed some rather Trumpian talking points, suggesting that it’s a mistake to “potentially deprive tens of millions of Americans of their choice for the presidency of the United States ... based on a case of this nature.
