A second lawyer for Rudy Giuliani is seeking to depart his legal team in Georgia, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News, a move that would appear to leave the former New York City mayor without any local lawyers in the state.

A motion to withdraw has been submitted to the clerk, the sources said. A judge in the case has to sign off on the motion.

News of the move comes after several other former attorneys of the Trump ally have sued Giuliani for failure to pay his bills, including his longtime friend and attorney Bob Costello, who sued Giuliani for over $1 million in payments due to his firm.

Earlier, an additional lawyer for Giuliani in Georgia, David Wolfe, submitted his own motion to withdraw from his representation of Giuliani.

    Kind of surprising Rudy is still alive if he drinks as heavily as they say. His liver must be pickled and he’s pushing 80.

      His lawyer must have left after having to advise him that “taking the fifth” didn’t mean he could take the whole bottle of Vodka with him on the stand…

        Luckily the crematorium is right around the corner.

          Looks like he turned the other way and headed into the dildo shop.

          (Seriously, of ALL the locations to pick, that had to be the funniest. Rudy is either an idiot or a comedy genius.)
