A federal case charging California lawyer Michael Avenatti with conspiring to extort millions from Nike has been rewritten to drop two counts of conspiracy.

Avenatti tweeted Wednesday that he was “extremely pleased” and expects to be “fully exonerated.”

He told Fox News, “The government’s case is falling apart as I knew it would.”

The indictment, returned Wednesday in Manhattan federal court, was renewed to add an honest services wire fraud charge, according to the court document.
