Rudy Giuliani’s Lawyers Want Out! Ex-Mayor’s Attorneys Ask Judge To Remove Them From Legal Fight
Oh, Rudy Giuliani, how far we have fallen.
As the ex-NYC Mayor’s seemingly endless journey of Ls continues, it seems Giuliani isn’t just losing his money, assets, dignity and what’s left of his reputation — he’s also losing all of his friends, namely, his attorneys.
According to the Associated Press, on Wednesday, attorney Kenneth Caruso and co-counsel David Labkowski, who represent Giuliani in the defamation case former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea Arshaye “Shaye” Moss, successfully launched against him petitioned the court to allow them to exit stage left as members of Giulian’s legal team.
AP noted that “several paragraphs of the publicly posted filing are blacked out,” so details about why exactly the pair of attorneys are motioning to call it quits on Giuliani are unavailable, but Caruso wrote in his filing to the judge that “lawyers may withdraw from representing clients when there is a ‘fundamental disagreement,’ or when a client insists on presenting a claim that is not warranted under the law and cannot be supported by a good-faith argument, or when the client fails to cooperate.”
In other words: Giuliani be lying and his lawyers are sick of his sh*t!
Mind you, last year, Giuliani was sued by his former attorneys, who allege that he had only paid a small fraction of the legal fees he owes, which amounts to nearly $1.6 million. Even then, he was so broke and broken that he was basically begging Donald Trump to help him pay his bills, and Trump was basically like: Nah, but I’ll throw a fundraiser or something maybe.
But regardless of the fact that Giuliani appears to be one step away from selling his dentures on E-Bay, he still has to pay up. In fact, here’s a video that has been circulating around social media purporting to show his not-all-that-impressive watch collection being shipped to Freeman and Moss.

From AP:
The request in federal court comes a week after a judge ordered Giuliani to turn over by Friday a Mercedes that once belonged to actress Lauren Bacall, an heirloom watch and other prized assets to two former Georgia election workers who sued him over his remarks about them as he fought to overturn President-elect Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss.
The women were awarded the judgment last year. Giuliani then filed for bankruptcy, but a judge cut that short after finding that the ex-mayor had flouted the process. Lawyers for the election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, say Giuliani has avoided turning over his assets.
But since Giuliani is a broke boy who is probably one overdue bill away from starting an OnlyFans page for people with Evil Nutcracker puppet fetishes, he’s apparently out here ducking his creditors who are trying to collect on the assets he owes Freeman and Moss.
The ex-mayor and longtime Trump ally has been defiant amid the collection efforts, which have stretched past an Oct. 29 deadline. He told reporters outside court last week he was the victim of a “political vendetta.” On Election Day, Giuliani was seen riding near a polling place in Palm Beach, Florida, in a Mercedes that appeared to be the car he was supposed to turn over.
See, this is why nobody likes you, Giuliani.
Your lawyers don’t like you. The people don’t like you. Trump doesn’t like you. The casting director for Max’s The Penguin doesn’t like you. (I mean, Colin Farrell was great, but I can’t be the only one who thinks Giuliani would have been perfect for the role.) You just seem to have no friends left, sir.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
