Michael Avenatti, the disgraced former lawyer for Stormy Daniels, has said that he is in touch with Donald Trumps legal defence team and is willing to testify on behalf of the former president at his hush money trial.
The defence has contacted me, Avenatti told The New York Post from prison. 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 defence for the better part of a year.
Avenatti is currently serving a 19-year sentence for extortion, tax evasion, fraud, embezzlement and other federal crimes at Terminal Island, a minimum-security federal prison in Los Angeles.
He did not provide any details about his conversations with the Trump defence team. The Stormy Daniels scandal catapulted Avenatti into the public eye in 2018 when he represented the adult film star, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
