Giuliani Held in Contempt for Failing to Turn Over Assets to Georgia Election Workers in $148M Defamation Case
Jan 6, 2025, 09:02 PM
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was held in contempt of court on Monday by U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman for failing to turn over assets to two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, whom he defamed while spreading false claims about the 2020 election. Giuliani, who has claimed to be "broke," failed to properly respond to requests for information to satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment granted to Freeman and Moss. The contempt ruling could lead to the seizure of Giuliani's assets, including a $3.5 million Palm Beach condo, watches, and valuable sports memorabilia such as a signed Joe DiMaggio Yankees jersey. Judge Liman imposed sanctions against Giuliani, issuing an adverse inference that the evidence Giuliani failed to disclose would have hurt his defense. Giuliani's continued failure to comply with court orders brings Freeman and Moss closer to obtaining his assets to satisfy the defamation judgment.
