Michael Avenatti To Face Charges Over Misusing Stormy Daniels’ Money: Report
Embattled lawyer Michael Avenatti is expected to face more federal charges—this time, over accusations that he misused money owed to Stormy Daniels.
On Wednesday, ABC News reported Manhattan federal prosecutors are expected to charge Avenatti with additional financial crimes, as the Newport Beach litigator faces a slew of charges on both coasts, including wire fraud, bank fraud and extortion.
According to the report, Avenatti is accused of misappropriating funds that were owed to Daniels when he represented her in a legal battle against President Trump and his longtime fixer, Michael Cohen, to nullify her infamous “hush agreement.”
