In an astonishing twist, Michael Avenatti, the notorious former lawyer of Stormy Daniels, has expressed his willingness to testify in favor of former President Donald Trump in the ongoing New York hush money trial. Speaking directly from his incarceration at a Los Angeles federal prison, Avenatti disclosed his potential involvement in the case to the New York Post.
“The defense has contacted me,” Avenatti revealed during the interview, indicating his readiness to support Trump’s legal battle.

Currently, Avenatti is serving a 19-year sentence at Terminal Island, a minimum-security facility, after being convicted of multiple federal offenses, including extortion, tax evasion, fraud, and embezzlement. Despite his circumstances, Avenatti expressed a keen interest in participating in the trial. “I’d be more than happy to testify, I don’t know that I will be called to testify, but I have been in touch with Trump’s defense for the better part of year,” he stated.
The Post did not elaborate on the details of these discussions, but an anonymous source close to Trump confirmed that conversations between Avenatti and Trump’s legal team are indeed taking place.
Avenatti, once a vocal critic of Trump, appears to have had a change of heart. He criticized the motivations behind the trial, suggesting a political agenda aimed at undermining Trump’s possible reelection. “There’s no question [the trial] is politically motivated because they’re concerned that he may be reelected,” Avenatti asserted. “If the defendant was anyone other than Donald Trump, this case would not have been brought at this time, and for the government to attempt to bring this case and convict him in an effort to prevent tens of millions of people from voting for him, I think it’s just flat out wrong, and atrocious.”
