Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti has been sentenced to four years in prison for defrauding his former client, Stormy Daniels.
Mr Avenatti was convicted in February of cheating Ms Daniels, an adult film actress, out of almost $300,000 in proceeds from her memoir. Mr Avenatti had represented the actress in multiple high-profile, drawn-out legal battles against former president Donald Trump, with whom Ms Daniels claimed she had had an affair. (Mr Trump denies this.)
