Michael Avenatti, the former lawyer who rose to prominence representing Stormy Daniels in her legal battles with President Donald Trump before being jailed for embezzling his clients’ money, is seeking to relaunch his career.
The attorney was a familiar face at the porn star’s side during Trump’s first term when she alleged she had had a sexual encounter with the future president in 2006 and had been paid “hush money” by his then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, to stay quiet about it, which he repeatedly denied.
