Avenatti's lawyers have argued that he should face no additional time in prison for a wire fraud conviction in the Daniels case. The lawyers cited an apology letter Avenatti recently wrote to Daniels in which he said: “I am truly sorry.” But prosecutors said in a sentencing submission last week that he should face “substantial” additional time in prison for the wire fraud conviction and criticized his apology letter, saying the 51-year-old failed to apologize for his actual crime.
