Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti will defend himself as he faces the second of four federal criminal cases on Wednesday.
Speaking to Fox News, as he entered the federal courthouse in Santa Ana, California, he explained his decision.
"I’m pro se because I want the truth to be known," he said.
The truth may not result in Avenatti’s desired result, though.
EDIT: Apparently, Avenatti's pro se request - origanitating as a spontaneous (appointed defense counsel told Avenatti to shut up) co-counsel request (denied), followed by Avenatti jumping in with both feet. See law dot com Twitter coverage of the hearing.
