Snell and Wilmer law firm withdraw from Trump's Arizona election suit

https://in.mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSL1N2HY005?__twitter_impression=true

"The largest law firm representing the Trump campaign or its allies in post-election litigation challenging votes in key states has withdrawn from an election lawsuit in Maricopa County, Arizona.

Associate Presiding Civil Judge Daniel Kiley on Tuesday granted Snell & Wilmer's request to withdraw as counsel of record for the Republican National Committee. The RNC had teamed-up with the Trump campaign and the Arizona Republican Party in the case, which alleges that Maricopa County incorrectly rejected some votes cast on Election Day.

Withdrawal may well be granted in such cases.

"Our client had us file based on fraudulent information he and his aides provided. Besides that, he's broke."

Judge tells Trump--what a waste of my time! Take your pick: case dismissed and/or I am pissed. Either way, get your lying ass out of my courtroom.
