Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who alleges she had an affair with former President Donald Trump, met Wednesday with the investigators from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, which is probing an alleged "hush money" payment made to her on Trump's behalf.
Donald Trump's former attorney says he helped facilitate hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. CBS2's Kristine Johnson reports.
He was there to prepare for a possible appearance before a grand jury probing allegations related to alleged "hush money" payments to an adult film actress during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
The judge said Avenatti's crime against Daniels was made "out of desperation" when his law firm was struggling. He called Avenatti's behavior "craven and egregious" and blamed it on "blind ambition."
A Manhattan federal judge sentenced disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti to more prison time Thursday.
Avenatti stared straight ahead as the verdict was read. It was another crushing defeat for the California lawyer, who has faced a host of legal problems after briefly rising to fame as one of Trump's leading antagonists on cable news early in the Republican's administration.
Avenatti was indicted last week on charges that he cheated Daniels out of $300,000 she was owed for her book, "Full Disclosure," which was published in October.
Federal prosecutors say Avenatti took money Daniels was supposed to get from a book deal.
