Avenatti calls Trump a 'victim of the system' in interview from prison

Avenatti calls Trump a ‘victim of the system’ in interview from prison (The Hill)

Former attorney Michael Avenatti ripped into the hush money case against former President Trump, arguing it was politically motivated to prevent the former president from taking back the Oval Office in November.

“I certainly see [Trump] as a victim of the system,” he said in a phone interview with Fox News Digital while in prison. “And that’s something that I never thought I would say. So if Michael Avenatti is coming to his defense, and I was one of his staunchest opponents for a very significant period of time, that should tell people something.”

From their perspective, and particularly if they intend to continue their criminal ways as soon as they get out.
