Two of Giuliani's lawyers try to withdraw from case involving $148M defamation judgment


Two of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's lawyers asked a judge to withdraw from a legal battle over a $148 million defamation judgment that's been levied against him. 

The lawyer said disagreements with Giuliani are behind their decision to request removal from the case.

Two former Georgia election workers had sued him over his public statements about them while he engaged in an effort to contest President-elect Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential election loss. 

The women, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, were awarded the $148 million judgment last year.

Giuliani has been ordered by the judge to turn over his Mercedes by Friday. 

Turning over his Manhattan apartment is also part of the judgement.
