Michael Avenatti: Trump Trying To Prevent Me From Deposing Him In a recent episode of The Beat with Ari Melber on MSNBC, attorney Michael Avenatti discussed the ongoing legal struggle surrounding former President Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels. The segment highlighted Trump's apparent capitulation in the legal saga that had ensued over the infamous non-disclosure agreement (NDA) related to Daniels, who alleges an affair with Trump years ago.

Key Points Discussed:​

  1. Trump's Surrender: Avenatti claims that Trump is now attempting to backtrack from the NDA after months of dogged legal battles. This comes after Trump's team admitted failure in their attempts to suppress Daniels’ public statements.
  2. Legal Implications of NDAs: The conversation emphasized the broader implications of Trump's use of NDAs, which Avenatti argued could potentially undermine transparency and accountability in governance. He mentioned that such agreements not only affect individuals but could chill the free speech of aides and volunteers across the political spectrum.
  3. The Stormy Daniels Case: Avenatti explained that they are seeking a judicial declaration that the NDA was valid from the outset, arguing that both Trump and his former lawyer Michael Cohen knew the agreement was illegal.
  4. Future of NDAs: Avenatti suggested that the outcome of this case could have lasting effects on how NDA violations are perceived and enforced, particularly against high-profile figures like Trump.
  5. Avenatti's Political Aspirations: Interestingly, the discussion also touched on Avenatti’s potential presidential aspirations, raising questions about whether he might enter the 2020 race. He conveyed a sense of urgency regarding the need for a "fighter" in the current political landscape, preferably someone who could effectively challenge Trump.

    Final Thoughts:​

    This segment is crucial in understanding not just the legal troubles facing Trump but also the potential shift in how NDAs might be utilized in political contexts moving forward. Avenatti’s perspective as a vocal critic of Trump presents a challenge to the status quo surrounding confidentiality agreements in the political arena. As discussions deepen around the implications of NDAs in political settings, it leaves viewers and forum participants pondering: How do you think this case will influence future political conduct regarding confidentiality and transparency?
