NEW YORK (Reuters) - The government's star witness in Michael Avenatti's extortion trial conceded on Friday he wanted to expose Nike Inc's
Gary Franklin, the founder and coach of youth basketball team California Supreme, nevertheless maintained that Avenatti never told him he might hold a press conference about the accusations, or wanted Nike to hire him for a costly internal probe, or else would seek $22.5 million (£17.45 million) to buy his silence.
