Michael Avenatti, the onetime lawyer for Stormy Daniels, was once seen as a hero of the anti-Trump resistance. His on-camera braggadocio and his insistence that his client’s hush money arrangement could spell danger for Donald Trump’s public perception — if not his freedom — made him into a celebrity of sorts on the left. But then a federal indictment in 2019 changed everything for Avenatti. He ultimately was convicted and sentenced to 30 months in prison over a wild scheme that involved his...

Union’s Daniel Gazdag on a bit of a scoring run again
Donald Trump keeps getting bad news ahead of his hush money trial in New York. The latest is that he can’t go on a “fishing expedition” in connection with the new Stormy Daniels documentary. The film, “Stormy,” is streaming on NBCUniversal’s Peacock service. (NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast Corp., owns MSNBC. NBC’s news division had no role in creating the documentary.) Trump subpoenaed NBCU, seeking a broad array of materials related to the film, which centers on the witness in the...
Former President Trump’s legal team says it tried to serve ex-pornographic actress Stormy Daniels with a subpoena as she arrived for an event at a bar in a New York City bar last month, but she refused to accept it. A process server working for Trump’s lawyers said he approached Daniels with papers demanding information related to a documentary recently released about her life and involvement with Trump but was forced to "leave them at her feet," according to a court filing made public...

It’s Daniels’ expertise at trolling MAGA cultists combined with her fearlessness and refusal to be slut-shamed that could really get under Trump’s thin skin. Trump is now standing trial on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with hush money payments he made to Daniels through his...
