April 11 (Reuters) - The convicted celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti has been granted temporary freedom from a New York City jail by a California federal judge who said the spread of the novel coronavirus was a compelling reason to release him.
In an order late on Friday, U.S. District Judge James Selna said Avenatti, who represented adult film actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against U.S. President Donald Trump, may stay at a friend's home during the 90-day release period.
Avenatti, 49, must first be quarantined for 14 days at a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility, to ensure he does not have the coronavirus or symptoms, before moving to the home of Jay Manheimer in Venice, California.

Maybe he can takeover for Biden!
CNN would approve...
“Enough about you, let’s talk about me. I’m about 5’10”. I once won a Cap’n Crunch second chance sweepstakes. I’m a diehard St. Louis Cardinals and Blues fan. I can juggle. I’ve worked in advertising since I was 21 years old, wandering the freelance halls for the last 8 or so. I’ve won a Cannes Lion. I write every day and work out at least 6 a week. Television raised me. And since moving to LA, I changed my allegiance from Twizzlers to Red Vines. “
With Cuomo out CNN was in desperate need of a prime time host?
This is his reward for being so anti-Trump.
If he’s not bail-worthy then why is he being released? Probably skip before trial, then what?
You’d think his immune system was supercharged given his clients.
He got released from a NYC jail by a CALIFORNIA judge??? WTF?
Jay Mannheimer must be scum also.
Ankle monitor this guy is a big flight risk.
Avenatti wasn’t even being held in this CA judges jurisdiction.
Can Barr reverse this ?
This type of $hit is happening nationwide. Anyone have any wagers on what percentage of those released won’t come back or,worse still,will commit serious crimes while out?
Yeah, right! Why should the people care if he died in jail of a virus?
Indeed, he is a virus.
I don’t get it - the average citizen is told to stay home and quarantine, but they’re letting prisoners out of jail - about the toughest quarantine there could be - into the general public.
In an order late on Friday, U.S. (Federal) District Judge James Selna ...
Unelected, in office for life, they can do whatever, wherever, whenever they feel like. ;-(
, how did the convicted turd ever manage to make the $1,000,000 bail???
He signed a check.
Easy peasy!
AG BARR.....is this even LEGAL for a Calif. judge to do...let the SKANK CRIMINAL out of a NYC jail??
Let's let ALL people out of jail because of Wuhan Flu!!!/s
This is so damn STUPID!
Federal crimes?
Probably had $100K in his freezer - oh, wait, that was a Louisiana Congress-critter...I still love the irony that his name is “William Jefferson” - everything but the “Clinton” on the end...
