Giuliani Lawyers Withdraw Amid $148M Judgment Dispute
News summary

Rudy Giuliani's legal representation in his defamation case against Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss is unraveling as his lawyers Kenneth Caruso and David Labkowski have filed motions to withdraw due to a 'fundamental disagreement' with Giuliani over legal strategy. The attorneys cite New York rules that permit withdrawal when a client insists on actions that are legally unsupported or when cooperation is unreasonably difficult. This move comes amid Giuliani's failure to comply with court orders to surrender valuable assets, including his Manhattan apartment and luxury items, to pay the $148 million judgment. The court filings are partly redacted, and while the judge has not yet ruled on the withdrawal request, Giuliani has been accused of hiding his assets. The situation is compounded by Giuliani's public pleas for financial assistance, claiming he lacks funds even for basic needs. Judge Lewis Liman has expressed frustration over Giuliani's non-compliance and warned of possible contempt sanctions.
