Former President Donald Trump's close ally Rudy Giuliani faces a huge problem after losing the lawyer representing him in the Georgia election racketeering case, former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb told CNN's Erin Burnett on Wednesday.
This comes amid reports that Giuliani is financially destitute as his legal fees mount, and that prosecutors are investigating Giuliani's alleged drinking problem, which could jeopardize Trump's efforts to claim that he was acting on the advice of Giuliani's legal counsel when he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
"Let me ask you about Rudy, because we just found out that his attorney there is withdrawing from representing Giuliani in the Fulton County case," said Burnett. "And obviously, Giuliani is in a disastrous broader situation, owing millions of dollars to multiple lawyers. And that may just be the tip of the iceberg of the sort of personal desperation which he is facing right now."

"How big of a problem is this for Rudy Giuliani?" Burnett continued. "How much trouble is he in?"
"I think he's in a lot of trouble," said Cobb. "I think it's a huge problem. I think it's — like any American who saw him throw the first ball out at Yankee Stadium after 9/11 and thought he was 'America's Mayor,' I think this is a tragic fall, and the depths I don't think we've necessarily seen yet. So I do think he's in great difficulty. I think he needs a very strong attorney to assist him there."
On the bright side for Giuliani, Cobb noted sardonically, "He found another lawyer in New Hampshire today to sue Biden for defamation."
