Douglas Wigdor, whose firm has represented plaintiffs in high-profile discrimination cases, announced Friday that he was no longer representing Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer who has accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993.

The state of play: While Wigdor did not provide a reason behind his firm's decision, he did say that the move is "by no means a reflection" on the veracity of her allegations.

Some of Wigdor's most notable cases have taken on Fox News, including former top host Bill O'Reilly, and Harvey Weinstein.

Despite his caseload, Wigdor has also garnered press for being a staunch conservative and supporter of President Trump.

Awkward...

1. As a former Gary Hart supporter, I applaud this move.

This story needs to hit the MSM for visibility.

2. I suspect he no longer sees any monetary advantage doing so

5. Thinking that he figured out that she would be perjuring herself in any complaint.

6. That also

7. No credible case to be made. His client would be scary in court.

Discovery would be BRUTAL.

3. FOX News could supply her with a lawyer...

They seem to be pretty good at that...

4. A lawyer, a story-line, a media outlet, a paycheck .......

8. ...the move is "by no means a reflection" on the veracity of her allegations.

Well Mr. Wigdor, it is hard to assess this as anything but a reflection on the veracity of her allegations.

10. We know what it's about. Her former lawyer was just being civil. nt

[reACTIONary]

11. Its more than civility, I believe...

... that there is a professional obligation to not allow the departure to prejudice the client's case.

[Progressive Jones]

12. Probably true, and rightfully so. nt

[Historic NY]

9. She's a lawyer, right....

[eilen]

13. I assume he dropped her because she lied to him nt

[Aviation91]

14. Be careful what you wish for...

...cause you just may get it! She wanted to be noticed...well, she’s about to be noticed more than she bargained for!

15. Well, if he's claiming that he still believes her story

maybe the problem is that there's nothing left to believe in her bank account.

16. The big money didn't come through from the RWNJs like he thought

But hey ... it's no reflection on the "veracity" of her allegations.
