NEW YORK - U.S. prosecutors on Monday rejected Michael Avenatti’s claim that they overwhelmed him with large amounts of material for the Jan. 21 trial accusing the celebrity lawyer of trying to extort Nike Inc, and that the material should be excluded or the trial delayed by 30 days.

In a filing late Sunday night in Manhattan federal court, Avenatti’s lawyers had said prosecutors’ recent “document dump,” including more than 13,800 pages of documents and an iPhone from Avenatti’s former office manager, had “severely prejudiced” their client’s ability to prepare for trial. He also accused Avenatti of seeking to use the documents as part of “an improper effort to blame the victim,” Nike, and “distract the jury from the only question before it: the defendant’s guilt.”Avenatti became known for representing porn star Stormy Daniels and criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump.

Prosecutors also charged Avenatti with failing to tell Franklin that Nike offered to settle the coach’s claims without paying Avenatti, costing the lawyer money.In his filing, Avenatti also said evidence to support prosecutors’ claim he was at least $15 million in debt when he dealt with Nike, giving him a possible motive to extort, could “overwhelm the trial” and should be excluded.
