In a new filing to the Federal Bureau of Prison, Avenatti wrote, “When claimant requested reading material, he was initially refused, and then provided one book, “The Art of the Deal,” purportedly co-written by Donald J. Trump. Claimant filed several grievances with the Bureau of Prisons but received no responses, nor was he afforded any hearing or process. On one occasion in approximately February 2020, a senior-level MCC employee escorted Claimant from a legal visit to his cell.”

Not only that but, Avenatti also claimed that he was mistreated in prison, “The frosted windows of claimant’s cell allowed almost no sunlight. Temperatures at night were frigid. He was restricted from speaking with friends or family. He was not provided fresh air or recreation.”

Avenatti has spent part of his career going after Trump and defending pornstars which to many, already disqualifies him from having any credibility. He was sentenced to 30 months in prison for trying to extort Nike for $25 million.

To justify his alleged harsh treatment in prison, which to him included being offered a book written by Trump, he is asking for $94 million which is $1 million for each day he claims he was in solitary confinement. Some may say this is over asking considering the time he has been in jail for.
