A press conference is scheduled to discuss the charges against Avenatti in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon.

“UPDATE: According to prosecutors, Avenatti is accused of trying to extract more than $20 million in payments from Nike by “threatening to use his ability to garner publicity to inflict substantial financial and reputational harm on the company if his demands were not met.” Details soon.”
