Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who represented porn star Stormy Daniels against Trump after she claimed to have had an affair with the president, has been charged with allegedly ripping her off.

Federal prosecutors said in court filings Wednesday the lawyer took money from Stormy Daniels that she should have received as part of a book deal.
