NEW YORK — Michael Avenatti threw the kitchen sink at his former client Stormy Daniels on Friday, questioning her about poltergeists, prison rape, "Game of Thrones" and Michael Cohen’s podcast as the disgraced lawyer’s fraud trial took a bizarre turn.
Avenatti is accused of stealing $300,000 of book advance payments from Daniels, his former client. Avenatti, acting as his own lawyer, sought to portray Daniels as unstable and holding a grudge against him.
“You stated that I was ‘f------g myself nice and hard,’ and that when I go to prison, there will be a long line of people to a-- rape me,” Avenatti said to Daniels in Manhattan Federal Court.
