Rudy Giuliani, former attorney to President Donald Trump, is being sued for allegedly failing to pay more than $1.36 million in legal fees to the law firm of Costello and Associates.

This is the latest in a series of legal troubles for Giuliani, with the outcome of this lawsuit yet to be determined.
