SANTA ANA, Calif. - Attorney Michael Avenatti made a brief appearance in federal court in California on Monday, proclaiming his innocence on the courthouse steps as he was jeered by onlookers.
He is charged in a separate federal indictment in New York with what prosecutors said was an attempt to “shake down” Nike Inc for more than $20 million. “I will spend the time in connection with this case and the one in New York relying on that same justice system. ... And I am highly confident that when the process plays out that justice will be done,” he said.Avenatti is free on $300,000 bond in the New York case. U.S. Magistrate Judge John Early did not modify the bond during the hearing in Santa Ana.
Avenatti became a prominent critic of Trump and frequent cable TV guest while representing Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford. She filed a lawsuit against the president over a nondisclosure agreement that in the weeks before the 2016 U.S. presidential election kept her from discussing her claims that they had had an extramarital affair 10 years earlier.
