Judge Orders Giuliani to Surrender Assets in $148M Defamation Case
Rudy Giuliani faces a contempt charge if he fails to hand over assets to Georgia election workers he defamed.
- Rudy Giuliani has been ordered by a federal judge to surrender assets to two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whom he defamed.
- The judge expressed frustration over Giuliani's delays and excuses, warning of potential contempt charges if assets are not turned over by next week.
- Giuliani's prized possessions, including a signed Joe DiMaggio jersey and a Mercedes-Benz, are reportedly stored in a Long Island facility he claims he cannot access.
- Giuliani's legal team argues some items, like a family heirloom watch, should be exempt from seizure, but the judge dismissed these claims as 'ridiculous.'
- Despite being ordered to pay $148 million, Giuliani maintains his innocence, calling the case a 'political vendetta' and plans to appeal the defamation decision.
