Just in: Michael Avenatti is asking Judge Selna to read a "curative jury instruction" Tuesday morning regarding the Geoff Johnson Social Security benefit issue that tells them to "disregard and ignore all such evidence" drive.google.com/file/d/1c4nMNy… Image
The wording of his proposed instruction is kind of hilarious and classic Avenatti. I think it's unlikely Judge Selna tells the jury exactly this, but as the motion (and my tweets) say, Selna has already said he's thinking about this. So there's going to be something. Image
I expect the U.S. Attorney's Office will file a response to this by end of Monday. Then the judge will take it up before the jury gets seated on Tuesday. #staytuned Again, Google Drive link to full document is here: drive.google.com/file/d/1c4nMNy…
Just in: Prosecutors' response pretty well lays out why this Social Security stuff is relevant to wire fraud: Avenatti's lies about the trust. "The testimony of Ms. Guerrero and Mr. Goeders strongly corroborated Mr. Johnson’s testimony..." Google Drive: bit.ly/3ry8h0x Image
"their interactions ... - even if they were in the context of defendant failing to maintain Mr. Johnson’s SSI benefits or help him purchase a house after promising to - are highly relevant to proving the false statements underlying one of the government’s theories of wire fraud."

First-person statement apparently from Jay Z posted by @RocNation.

“Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?”

“It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion.” Image
@RocNation Quinn Emanuel, which represents Jay Z in various things, issued this after suing Buzbee for extortion on behalf of anonymous celebrity who is now obviously Jay Z.

“His tactics are unethical and extortionate, and today they seek to hold him accountable for his illegal behavior.” Image
