Disgraced celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti wants to transfer one of the criminal cases he faces in New York, in which he’s accused of ripping off $300,000 from former client and porn actress Stormy Daniels, to California, where he’s accused of stealing from five other clients, scamming bank loans and tax evasion.

Avenatti was in Manhattan for a four-minute hearing on Tuesday to set a schedule for filing a change of venue motion. He is accused of stealing advance proceeds that were supposed to go to Daniels for her memoir, “Full Disclosure.”

He gave a press conference after but did not respond to a reporter’s question as to why he wants the case transferred to California, where he is also being sued by a paraplegic former client who says that Avenatti ripped him off.

But in May, when he was arraigned in New York for two separate cases, a lawyer for Avenatti said that the alleged conduct in the Daniels case overlaps with what he’s accused of in California, which also includes an accusation that he lied during a bankruptcy proceeding.

“In effect, this is a sixth client that the government alleges was defrauded by the same modus operandi,” said attorney Scott Srebnick during a May 28 hearing of Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.

In Avenatti’s other New York case, he is accused of trying to extort Nike out of $20 million by alleging that he would expose a bribery scheme among executives at the sneaker giant. He has not indicated that he is seeking to move that case to the West Coast.

Following the hearing, Avenatti used his time before the camera to take shots at President Donald Trump as well as Donald Trump Jr. and former White House communications director Hope Hicks.
