In an interview from prison, Avenatti told MSNBC’s Ari Melber that he believes Trump will be convicted in the hush money trial when asked what he thinks is “wrong” with the case.
“You know, I think the case has a lot of problems. Now that does not —I don’t mean to suggest that that means that Trump will not be convicted because I think he will be convicted,” Avenatti said.
