A federal judge in New York City has found Rudy Giuliani, former attorney to Donald Trump and ex-New York City mayor, in civil contempt of court for failing to properly respond to requests for information as he turned over assets to two Georgia election workers he defamed. The contempt ruling pertains to Giuliani's noncompliance with court orders to satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment awarded to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whom he falsely accused of helping to steal the 2020 presidential election. The judge's decision could lead to sanctions or the seizure of Giuliani's assets to settle the judgment.
