The $94 million claim, which was first obtained by CBS News, seeks $1 million for each day he says he was held in solitary confinement or lockdown and claims he was only allowed to read former President Trump’s book, “The Art of the Deal.”
In the claim, Avenatti says he was mistreated while he was in federal custody because of his criticism of Trump and former Attorney General William Barr.
