Stormy Daniels Ex Lawyer Michael Avenatti Wants to Testify for Trump: Report

Stormy Daniels disgraced former attorney Michael Avenatti has reportedly said he is willing to testify against her in the hush money trial of former President Donald Trump. The defense has contacted me, Avenatti reportedly told the New York Post from a Los Angeles prison where he is serving a 19-year sentence for extortion, tax evasion, fraud, embezzlement and other federal crimes. Id be more than happy to testify, I dont know that I will be called to testify, but I have been in touch with Trumps defense for the better part of year. The move is a huge about-face for the lawyer who was one of Trumps biggest critics. Theres no question [the trial] is politically motivated because theyre concerned that he may be reelected, Avenatti said. If the defendant was anyone other than Donald Trump, this case would not have been brought at this time, and for the government to attempt to bring this case and convict him in an effort to prevent tens of millions of people from voting for him, I think its just flat out wrong, and atrocious. Avenatti said he was really bothered by the fact Trump has been targeted in numerous legal cases. Four cases is just over the top and I think theres a significant chance that this is going to all backfire and is going to propel him to the White House, he said.

Extortion, fraud, embezzlement ... perfect witness! And a good candidate for a jury of Trump's peers!

The same guy who was pro-Stormy and anti-Trump is now anti-Stormy and pro-Trump. Makes no sense.
