Rudy Giuliani's former lawyer sued him Monday, alleging the ex-New York City mayor has paid only a fraction of nearly $1.6 million in legal fees he's racked up from investigations into his efforts to keep Donald Trump in the White House.
NEW YORK — Rudy Giuliani's former lawyer sued him Monday, alleging the ex-New York City mayor has paid only a fraction of nearly $1.6 million in legal fees he's racked up fromRobert Costello and his law firm, Davidoff Hutcher & Citron, say Giuliani has paid them just $214,000 and still has a $1.36 million tab. Giuliani's last payment, according to the lawsuit, was $10,000 on Sept.
"I can't express how personally hurt I am by what Bob Costello has done," Giuliani said Monday in a statement provided by his spokesperson. "It's 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." Costello, a partner at Davidoff Hutcher & Citron, was Giuliani's lawyer from November 2019 to July 2023. He represented Giuliani in matters ranging from an investigation into his business dealings in Ukraine, which resulted in an FBI raid on his home and office in April 2021, to state and federal probes of his work in the wake of Trump's 2020 election loss.
Giuliani could be on the hook for a massive financial penalty after a judge held him liable last month in a defamation lawsuit brought by two Georgia election workers who say he falsely accused them of fraud. The judge has already ordered Giuliani and his businesses to pay more than $130,000 in legal fees for the women.
