Trump and more than a dozen of his allies were indicted in August by a Georgia grand jury in the election interference case.
Wood was not indicted.
He had worked to challenge the results of the 2020 national election and would often push false conspiracies about the election itself.
In 2021, Wood told CNBC that his South Carolina plantations hosted numerous conspiracy theorists looking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Wood, who had represented the late Richard Jewell after Jewell was falsely implicated in the 1996 bombing at the Olympics in Atlanta, in July retired from practicing law in order to avoid potential disbarment in Georgia.
