Michael Avenatti is sentenced to 14 years in prison and ordered to pay $7 million in restitution after admitting that he cheated four of his clients out of millions of dollars.
Before sentencing, Avenatti apologized to the four victims in the case, three of whom were in the courtroom.
Prosecutor Brett Sagel told the court that Avenatti's criminal conduct “arose from calculated choices and egregious violations of the trust” his clients placed in him. The government dropped all other remaining charges against Avenatti stemming from a 36-count indictment. Avenatti represented Daniels in her lawsuit to break a confidentiality agreement with Trump to stay mum about an affair she said they had and became one of Trump’s leading adversaries, attacking him on cable news programs and Twitter.
