Judge Warns Giuliani Over Missing Assets in Defamation Case
TL;DR
Rudy Giuliani faced criticism in federal court for failing to turn over assets to two election workers he defamed, including a vintage Mercedes. U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman ordered Giuliani to comply with asset transfer obligations after a jury awarded Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss $148 million in damages. Giuliani, who has declared bankruptcy, was given a deadline to surrender various possessions, but has been accused of evading these responsibilities. The court has set a new deadline for compliance, with potential contempt hearings if Giuliani fails to act.
