U.S. District Judge Deborah Batts set the April 21 trial date at a brief hearing in Manhattan federal court. The trial is expected to last one to two weeks.
The article goes on to state the following:
Avenatti, 48, was arrested in New York in March. New York prosecutors have charged him with stealing nearly $300,000 from Daniels in the course of representing her and helping her secure a book deal, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
According to prosecutors, Avenatti diverted forged Saniel’s signature and diverted nearly $300,000 from Daniels’ $800,000 book advance into his own bank account.
Trial date has been set for the SDNY case in which Michael Avenatti is charged with defrauding former client Stormy Daniels: April 21.
