By Devlin Barrett Devlin Barrett Reporter focusing on national security and law enforcement Email Bio Follow May 22 at 3:36 PM Federal prosecutors in New York unsealed new charges Wednesday against Michael Avenatti, accusing the prominent lawyer of defrauding his most famous former client, adult-film star Stormy Daniels, in connection with her book deal.One accuses him of aggravated identity theft and wire fraud in the Daniels case.
According to the book money indictment, Avenatti “stole approximately $300,000” from Daniels and has not repaid about half that money. Avenatti, 48, no longer represents Daniels, but he parlayed their association into frequent cable news appearances and flirted with running for president. He also wrote the foreword for her book, “Full Disclosure,” which was published in October.
That indictment charges Avenatti “would misrepresent, conceal, and falsely describe to the client” the details of their settlement and its funds, routing the money instead into accounts he controlled. He would use the money for himself and lie to clients about whether the settlements were being paid or delayed, the indictment stated.
