Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s legal team is adding to his laundry list of legal troubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Trump attorney’s previous legal team is suing the Republican for failing to pay legal fees amounting to $1.36 million they charged while representing him in numerous controversies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports from Politicom Robert J. Costello, a longtime friend of Giuliani, and his law firm Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP filed the\u00a0complaint on Monday in a state court in Manhattan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a> has more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

And now his old counsel is turning against him, accusing him of not paying up all the money he owes them for representing him throughout these his legal battles. Giuliani has already paid the firm \u2014 which he employed on a retainer agreement that it alleges he broke \u2014 $214,000, with his last payment made on Sept. 14 in the amount of $10,000, according to the filing. In total, the firm has charged him $1.57 million from 2019 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t express how personally hurt I am by what Bob Costello has done,\u201d Giuliani told POLITICO in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s a real shame when lawyers do things like this, and all I will say is that their bill is way in excess to anything approaching legitimate fees.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Giuliani is staring down the barrel at a host of legal issues stemming from the 2020 presidential election. Last month Giuliani surrendered to Fulton County jail over charges that he helped conspire with Trump to overthrow the election by lying to state legislators and spreading election fraud misinformation. A week later, a federal judge ruled that he was\u00a0liable for defaming two Georgia election workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
