Former lawyer Michael Avenatti has expressed support for former President Trump in the hush money case against him, arguing that it is politically motivated. Avenatti, who once represented Trump’s accuser Stormy Daniels, said the charges against Trump are ‘absolute overkill’ and are intended to prevent him from running for office again. Avenatti claims the prosecutors involved have personal motivations to gain prominence and that the case against Trump should be decided by voters, not by prosecutors.
