Giuliani Lawyers Withdraw from Defamation Case

Rudy Giuliani, once lauded as 'America's Mayor,' is now facing significant legal challenges as his attorneys, Kenneth Caruso and David Labkowski, have requested to withdraw from representing him in a $148 million defamation case. The withdrawal follows a court order mandating Giuliani to surrender assets, including a luxury car and an heirloom watch, to Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea 'Shaye' Moss, who sued him after he made false claims about their involvement in election fraud during the 2020 presidential election. The attorneys cited 'fundamental disagreements' as the reason for their departure, which may indicate serious rifts over legal strategies or client cooperation. Giuliani has been disbarred and continues to insist that the claims against him are part of a 'political vendetta.' Meanwhile, there are ongoing concerns from Freeman and Moss's legal team regarding Giuliani's potential concealment of assets. The court has expressed frustration with Giuliani's lack of cooperation in these proceedings.
