NEW YORK - Michael Avenatti shot to fame from obscurity two years ago by taking to the airwaves as an outspoken, self-described nemesis of Donald Trump while representing adult film actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against the U.S. president.
Avenatti says he is innocent and has tried to paint Nike as the real offender, describing the case against him as retribution for his attacks on Trump. “Nothing would please me more” than to keep references to Trump and Daniels out of the trial, Gardephe said at a Jan. 22 hearing, while acknowledging their names would come up.
Avenatti allegedly made the threat on behalf of his client Gary Franklin, a coach in a Nike-sponsored youth basketball league, and demanded Nike pay him $1.5 million. Franklin, who Avenatti’s lawyers have said hired their client after seeing him represent Daniels, is expected to testify.
