Rudy Giuliani hires lawyer who formerly represented Paula Jones in sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill Clinton

Source: Law & Crime

Rudy Giuliani has replaced his lawyers in the case where many of his assets are being liquidated to satisfy a massive default judgment won by two defamed Georgia election workers. In a letter motion submitted late Friday, the former New York City mayor’s new attorney, Joseph M. Cammarata, announced his hiring — along with several additional developments in the case.

While Cammarata’s name alone may be known to those deft in dealing with the annals of legal history, the lawyer is perhaps best known by relation to his former client: Paula Jones, the Arkansas woman who sued then-president Bill Clinton for sexual harassment in 1994.

Along with Gilbert Davis, Cammarata represented Jones until 1997. Cammarata was a swift addition to Giuliani’s legal team.

As Law&Crime previously reported, former lead attorney, Kenneth Caruso, and co-counsel, David Labkowski, on Wednesday filed a motion to withdraw — without mentioning their intent to quit beforehand and seemingly catching their client by surprise. “Mayor Giuliani has not been informed by Mr. Caruso of this action,” Ted Goodman, Giuliani’s spokesperson, said in a statement provided to The Hill after the move. “Surely Mr. Caruso would talk to the mayor, or at the very least inform him of such a decision.”

1. I'm sorry but what lawyer would ever agree to represent him

given his history of lying, not paying his fees, trying to undercut his lawyers or get them to do illegal things? Is it publicity? Pro bono?

He hides his assets for the civil lawsuit just as he hid them from his wife. He is despicable.
