Federal prosecutors on Wednesday charged Michael Avenatti with defrauding the woman who made him famous — porn star Stephanie Clifford, AKA Stormy Daniels.
The feds say Avenatti took money from Stormy Daniels that she was supposed to get from a book deal, reported the Associated Press.
The allegations against Avenatti were revealed in charges filed Wednesday in New York.
Federal prosecutors say Avenatti took money Daniels was supposed to get from a book deal.
Daniels isn’t named in the court filing, but the details of the case make it clear that she is the client involved in the case.
Avenatti denied the allegations.
Last month in a federal case in Los Angeles, the creepy porn lawyer was indicted on 36 counts and accused of ripping off a mentally ill paraplegic client and faces 335 years in prison.
In a completely separate federal case in New York, Avenatti faces up to 47 more years in prison if he is convicted on extortion charges.
Avenatti was charged with trying to extort $20 million from Nike.
The Trump curse is real!
