Giuliani's Legal Team Seeks to Withdraw Amid Defamation Case Turmoil
TL;DR
Rudy Giuliani's lawyers are seeking to withdraw from a defamation case in New York federal court, citing fundamental disagreements with him over case management. This follows a judge's threat to hold Giuliani in contempt for not surrendering personal property to satisfy a $146 million judgment awarded to two Georgia election workers he defamed after the 2020 election. The lawyers claim Giuliani's actions and lack of cooperation have made their representation unreasonably difficult.
