The indictment expands on a criminal complaint filed against Avenatti earlier in California and includes allegations of impropriety by Avenatti against former business partners and two additional clients. Officials with the Justice Department and the Internal Revenue Service were expected to share additional details on the indictment Thursday.
The charge involving the paraplegic client states that Avenatti lied to his client several times, including telling him that L.A. County hadn’t paid him in a $4 million dollar settlement as a lump sum, which the county had. Avenatti allegedly depleted that money in a matter of months.and on two counts of wire and bank fraud from Southern California, where his firm is based. Avenatti has said he expects to be cleared.
I intend to fully fight all charges and plead NOT GUILTY. I look forward to the entire truth being known as opposed to a one-sided version meant to sideline me.The charges are the latest major blow to a career that took off last year when Avenatti represented Daniels in her lawsuit to break a confidentiality agreement with Trump to stay mum about an affair they allegedly had.
