The Latest: Prosecutor says Avenatti case shows greed

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Latest on the arrest of attorney Michael Avenatti (all times local):

11:55 a.m.

Porn star Stormy Daniels says she’s “saddened but not shocked” over the arrest of her former attorney, Michael Avenatti.  

Daniels issued a statement Monday on Twitter saying she fired Avenatti a month ago after “discovering that he had dealt with me extremely dishonestly.” She said she wouldn’t elaborate. 

Avenatti is best known for representing Daniels in lawsuits against President Donald Trump and has been charged with extortion in New York and bank and wire fraud in California.  

Avenatti represented Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, in a lawsuit to break a confidentiality agreement to speak about her alleged affair with Trump.  

An email to Avenatti’s office and phone and text messages sent to his phone seeking comment haven’t been immediately returned.
