LOS ANGELES Last week, the former lawyer for AVN Hall of Famer Stormy Daniels, Michael Avenatti, asked a judge to delay the start of his California trial on fraud charges so that he could focus on preparations for his trial on charges that he swindled Daniels out of nearly $300,000. Instead, his trial in the Daniels case was pushed back, into next year.
Avenatti was previously scheduled to face the Daniels-related charges in court on April 26. But last Friday, federal Southern District of New York Judge Jesse Furman issued a ruling delaying that trail date to January 10, 2022, according to a report by The Associated Press. Furman, however, said that the 2022 date was “firm.”
