NEW YORK — Michael Avenatti declined to testify at his trial Tuesday after a judge warned the disgraced litigator that prosecutors would grill him on his past lies.
Avenatti said he’d chosen not to take the stand because the government had not proven its case.
He fired his lawyers on the trial’s second day, electing to represent himself against charges he stole $300,000 from Stormy Daniels’ book advance while representing her in legal battles against President Donald Trump.
