The attorneys representing former Fox News contributor Rod Wheeler in his defamation suit against the media company have asked U.S. District Judge George Daniels of the Southern District of New York to let them withdraw as counsel, according to court filings.

Wigdor LLP name attorney Douglas Wigdor and his team cited “irreconcilable differences” with their client, who has alleged a story that appeared on Fox News’ website improperly attached his name to quotes in a story about former Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich.
