Since early 2018, Claimant, a prominent trial lawyer, has been an outspoken critic of former
President Donald J. Trump. In March 2018, Claimant filed several lawsuits against President
Trump on behalf of his client, Stephanie Clifford (a/k/a Stormy Daniels). These lawsuits gave
Claimant a platform to expose President Trump’s misconduct, corruption and mendacity. Major
television networks interviewed Claimant hundreds of times about the legal proceedings and
President Trump. President Trump fixated on Claimant as a burgeoning threat to his presidency
and re-election campaign. Beginning in 2019, federal prosecutors aggressively pursued charges
against Claimant in California and New York.

When Claimant requested reading material, he was initially refused, and
then provided one book, “The Art of the Deal,” purportedly co-written by Donald J. Trump.
Claimant filed several grievances with the Bureau of Prisons but received no responses, nor was
he afforded any hearing or process.
