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.

Didn't the Specials write a song about this?

Take your upvote and go. This comment is way underappreciated.

Ghost Town for those who don't get it and are too lazy to look it up. It's a good song.

Great song, but I was referring to the even more on the nose A Message to You Rudy

Nice, I didn't think of that one. :)

I would love to see the judge force the attorney to continue to represent him.

Giuliani will lose anyway, and the attorney deserves it for being willing to defend team chump.
