NEW YORK - Nike Inc asked a judge to block Michael Avenatti from having five of its sports marketing officials testify at his upcoming criminal trial, calling their testimony irrelevant to whether the California lawyer tried to extort the company.
In a Thursday filing in Manhattan federal court, Nike called Avenatti’s subpoenas for testimony from sports marketing chief John Slusher and others part of an effort to “put the government’s and Nike’s conduct on trial,” and distract jurors from his own conduct.Avenatti became famous representing porn star Stormy Daniels and criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Mr. Avenatti would like to elicit the Nike employees’ testimony to try to establish that Nike engaged in criminal conduct, and that Nike hid this criminal conduct from the government while claiming to be cooperating,” Nike said in the filing. “This narrative - which paints Nike as the villain and Mr. Avenatti as the hero -is false and illogical.”
