Michael Avenatti Calls Into MSNBC From Prison to Attack Hush Money Case Against Trump

Former attorney ⚖️Michael Avenatti is speaking out from prison to attack the hush money case against former President Donald Trump.

Avenatti, who is in prison for extortion and fraud, spoke about the charges against Trump stemming an investigation into hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.

The former lawyer was sentenced to four years in prison in 2022 for stealing from Daniels, who he represented.

On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Ari Melber noted Avenatti had a role in bringing the case to light and and asked, “How do you assess the strength of the prosecution’s case?”

“Well, I think what I’m about to say is going to surprise a lot of people, and that is that I think this is the wrong case, at the wrong time, Ari. I think that the case is in many way stale at this juncture. You’re talking about conduct that occurred some eight years ago. I think the fact that it’s occurring in state court in New York is a mistake,” he continued.

Avenatti went on to warn against depriving “tens of millions of Americans of their choice for the presidency of the United States — whether we agree with those folks or not or regardless of what we may think of
