NEW YORK - Lawyer Michael Avenatti, who became nationally known as an outspoken critic of U.S. President Donald Trump before his arrest earlier this year, will stand trial in April on charges that he stole from his former client Stormy Daniels, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Deborah Batts set the April 21 trial date at a brief hearing in Manhattan federal court. The trial is expected to last one to two weeks. The prosecutors said Avenatti diverted two $148,750 installment payments from Daniels’ $800,000 book advance by forging her signature in a letter to her literary agent and directing that the money be sent to his bank account.
Avenatti’s lawyer, Dean Steward, said at Tuesday’s hearing that he was considering filing a motion to dismiss the case on the grounds that it was motivated by the “vindictiveness” of Avenatti’s political enemies in the Trump administration.“This office is not known for being vindictive,” she said of the Manhattan federal prosecutors who brought the charges.
