"On Monday, the Daily Caller (which Carlson co-founded) reported that Avenatti released a statement from his client, identifying him as Juan Manuel Granados. The statement denies calling any member of his family any names and claims Carlson and his son were the "aggressors." The statement doesn't explain why they would have recognized or singled out Granados to confront him in the first place.
Granados was also a member of the Board of Directors for the Women's Initiative, a group that describes its mission as "empowering women in times of challenge and change."
