Judge Blocks Giuliani's Appeal of $148M Defamation Judgment

Bankruptcy court criticizes former NYC mayor for lack of progress in financial disclosures and asset sales

Rudy Giuliani's attempt to appeal a $148 million defamation judgment was denied by a U.S. bankruptcy judge.
The judge expressed frustration over Giuliani's failure to make progress in his bankruptcy case since filing in December.
Giuliani's radio show was canceled due to his repeated false statements about the 2020 election.
Creditors argue Giuliani is using bankruptcy to evade paying the defamation judgment and other debts.
A court hearing is scheduled to address Giuliani's ongoing defamatory statements.
