Judge orders release of Avenatti financial information July 27, 2021 at 3:51 pm
NEW YORK (AP) A New York judge on Tuesday ordered the public disclosure of financial information Michael Avenatti provided to qualify for publicly funded lawyers to defend him against charges he defrauded porn star Stormy Daniels.
U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman in Manhattan said the common law and First Amendment rights of public access to judicial documents require that the information be unsealed.
“There are no countervailing factors or higher values sufficient to outweigh the public’s right to access the documents,” the judge wrote.
Avenatti, 50, faces trial early next year in New York on charges that he cheated Daniels of hundreds of thousands of dollars in proceeds for her book. Avenatti gained a high public profile as a lawyer who appeared regularly on cable television programs when he represented Daniels in 2018 in lawsuits against then-President Donald Trump.

A small group of dedicated and educated Black women, founded in September of 1928 with the stated purpose “to stimulate interest in business women, and to build a program on sound educational principles emphasizing fellowship, charity and leadership.”
And for more than 90 years, they have been doing just that.
Now called the Elliottorian Business and Professional Women’s Club, the organization holds the distinction of being the first club of Black business women in Detroit and the state of Michigan; the presenter of Detroit’s first observation of “Negro History Week” in 1931; and a longtime provider of scholarships for deserving students regardless of “race, creed or color.” Named after its founder, Elizabeth Nesbitt Elliott, the organization has endured through the Great Depression
