Just prior to his appearance on the Rachel Maddow show, Michael Avenatti gave the heads up on Twitter that he was going to release a video on the show.
I applaud the bravery of my whistleblower client, who showed great courage in coming forward and providing the video and images we are showing on @maddow tonight. She is a true patriot.

The video is of a child named Jessica. It appears to be the same child whose photo Avenatti released yesterday on Twitter.
The video was filmed by a former employee of the child detention center.
