Attorneys representing Trevian Kutti, one of former President Donald Trump's codefendants in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' sprawling racketeering case, are moving to dump their client.
The Messenger reports that both her Atlanta and Chicago-based attorneys filed a notice late on Monday notifying courts that they no longer wanted to represent her.
Although their notice offered no definitive explanation for their decision to drop Kutti, Atlanta-based attorney Darryl Cohen dropped some hints in a phone interview with The Messenger.
"In order to have a good lawyer-client relationship, the client has to listen, the client has to be on board and you have to be paid," he said. “All these things have to happen,” Cohen added. “I'm not saying any of those things did or didn't happen, but you can extrapolate.”
Kutti has been making headlines by taking actions that many legal experts have said will damage her chances in court, such as when she took to social media and declared she would "f--ck up" Ruby Freeman, one of the defamed election workers whose lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani landed her and her daughter a massive $148 million verdict last week.
As The Messenger notes, these attacks on Freeman have even put Kutti's bond agreement in peril.
