Bankruptcy attorneys hired by Paul Manafort's former son-in-law Jeffrey Yohai are seeking to drop their representation of at least one of his businesses, citing unpaid bills and a 'lack of candor.'
The move comes about a week after press reports that Yohai secretly entered a guilty plea earlier this year in a criminal case relating to financing for his real estate deals. The plea led to speculation that Yohai might be providing evidence to prosecutors working for special counsel Robert Mueller on two criminal cases against Manafort.
In filings Friday in federal bankruptcy court, attorneys from the Torrance, California, law firm of Hinds & Shankman told a judge that they can no longer represent Yohai's Baylor Holding, LLC real estate firm.
