Authorities move L.A. attorney Michael Avenatti to New York ahead of trial
Federal authorities moved Los Angeles attorney Michael Avenatti to New York on Friday ahead of a trial later this month on charges that he tried to extort more than $20 million from sports giant Nike, his attorney said. U.S. marshals transported Avenatti by private jet, and he’s at Metropolitan Correction Center awaiting classification, attorney H. Dean Steward said Saturday. Avenatti was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon at a California State Bar Court hearing. After the Nike case concludes, he will face a second federal trial in New York on charges that he stole from Daniels by skimming money from her deal to write a memoir detailing her alleged affair with President Trump.

Maduro says he’s still in control of Venezuela, ready for direct talks with the United States
The United States has held firm on its position that unless and until Maduro is willing to discuss his exit from the presidential palace, direct talks would probably only strengthen him. In two more meetings before the plot was sprung, Maduro told The Post, he laid a trap for Figuera — who ultimately escaped to Colombia and later the United States. The United States, most Latin American nations and European powers have dismissed the operation as political theater.

Donovan Mitchell Is Speeding Up His Superstar Trajectory
(Photo by Alex Goodlett/Getty Images) Getty ImagesIt didn’t take long for people to start nitpicking Donovan Mitchell. Enter “Waiters Donovan Mitchell” or “Monta Donovan Mitchell” into Twitter’s search bar and you’ll find plenty who want to diminish what Mitchell has been to this point in his career (to be fair, some of the tweets are clearly jokes). What the detractors who wish to brand Mitchell a “chucker” ignore is that Mitchell is doing this as the undeniable No. Over the course of his career, Mitchell has averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 assists and 4.3 rebounds per 75 possessions. Among the 62 players averaging 20-plus points per 75 possessions over the course of Mitchell’s career, he’s 43rd in free-throw rate.

Some welcome news, then, for Huawei with the announcement that Tom Tom, the Dutch digital mapping company, was signed up to provide mapping, location and navigation services for HMS. Make no mistake, despite the relatively dry reporting of the technicalities of the Meng extradition case, this is deeply personal. Despite the smartphone and Google headlines, this is the real fight.

Biden, Buttigieg seek edge amid Warren-Sanders fight and impeachment complications
But they haven’t done it yet.”The video does not appear doctored, as Biden claimed, but fact-checkers say it is misleading. Fact-checkers said Biden was mocking Ryan, and noted that Sanders’s campaign trimmed the video before the point where Biden said he would protect Social Security and Medicare. He remains part of a four-way clutch of candidates at the top of recent polling, which has raised the prospect of victory or embarrassing defeat for him, Buttigieg, Sanders and Warren. AD“This race is a gnat’s eyelash close,” said Tom Vilsack, the former Iowa governor who endorsed Biden in November. At the end of his fifth event of the day Thursday, a town hall in Sioux City, Buttigieg modified his message.
