Michael Avenatti Tweets Desperate Warning From Prison, Says Unseen Evidence Will Heavily Favor Trump

Michael Avenatti, former attorney for Stormy Daniels, recently suggested that former President Donald Trump may hold valuable evidence that could work in his favor if he is indicted. Avenatti issued a cautionary tweet from prison, stating that undisclosed evidence related to the hush money scandal has yet to be revealed and could be detrimental to the prosecution’s case.

Avenatti claimed that if Trump is actually indicted, relying solely on the testimony of Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels to build a case against the former President would be insufficient.

“There are many critical facts and pieces of evidence (texts, emails, etc.) relating to the hush money scandal that have yet to see the light of day,” Avenatti said. “And they will unfortunately be very damaging to the prosecution if Trump stands trial. At this point, you simply can’t build a case on the testimony of Cohen & Daniels.”

Avenatti gained public attention for representing adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who claimed to have had an affair with Trump. Avenatti has been convicted of several federal crimes, including attempted extortion, wire fraud, and tax evasion, and is currently serving a sentence in federal prison.

He also commented on Trump’s present lawyer, Joe Tacopina, stating that Tacopina is a significantly more competent legal counsel than the various semi-famous attorneys Trump has been associated with. Tacopina is a prominent American criminal defense attorney known for his aggressive and strategic approach to defending his clients. He has represented a number of high-profile clients, including celebrities, politicians, and professional athletes.

Avenatti also suggested that Cohen, who has been cooperating with federal prosecutors and providing damaging testimony against Trump, would be a “terrible witness” and that Tacopina could “destroy” him on the stand.

Avenatti wrote, “[Attorney] Joe Tacopina is no Rudy Giuliani/Sydney Powell. The guy knows his way around a criminal courtroom. He will destroy Michael ‘Dumb as a Box of Rocks’ Cohen on the stand, esp. seeing as Cohen publicly lied for 15 mos. and now won’t stop talking on TV. #terriblewitness.”

Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell were both lawyers who were part of Trump’s legal team during his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Giuliani is a former mayor of New York City and has been involved in numerous high-profile legal cases, while Powell is a former federal prosecutor.

Avenatti’s comments suggest that there may be undisclosed evidence related to the hush money scandal that could potentially work in Trump’s favor if he is indicted or faces trial. The indictment was put on pause earlier this week and should resume sometime next week. If an indictment is carried out, Trump may have a more competent legal team than in the past with Tacopina at his side.
