The onetime publicist for Kanye West facing a RICO indictment in Georgia alongside former President Donald Trump now needs to look into hiring new defense lawyers after three attorneys suddenly moved to withdraw from the case.

In the brief motion to withdraw filed in Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s court, Trevian Kutti’s lawyers Darryl Cohen, Steve Greenberg, and Joshua Herman together moved to “respectfully request an order from the court allowing them withdrawal as counsel of record in this case.”

“The undersigned have given Client due written notice of their intention to withdraw pursuant to submitting this request to the Court,” the lawyers said, noting that Kutti has been informed of the obligation to “prepare for trial or hire new counsel to prepare for trial” — though a trial date has not yet been set — and the obligation to “conduct and respond to discovery or motions in the case.”

Should Kutti failed to “meet these burdens,” including keeping the judge apprised of “where notices, pleadings and other papers may be served,” the defendant has been informed she “may suffer adverse consequences, including, bond forfeiture and arrest,” the lawyers said.
