A Manhattan federal judge on Wednesday postponed the start of Michael Avenatti’s extortion trial next week, after a judge in California ordered that he be held without bond amid new allegations of fraud and money laundering.

According to court papers, the U.S. Marshals Service was expected to transport Avenatti to New York later this week. However, his arrest and jailing in Los Angeles injected his extortion case with a fresh sense of confusion on the eve of a planned Jan. 21 trial, and kicked off a flurry of filings throughout the day as prosecutors scrambled to assess the impact.
