Rudy Giuliani Faces Civil Contempt Hearing Over Renewed Defamatory Claims

The former mayor is accused of violating a court order by repeating false allegations against two Georgia election workers, potentially leading to fines or jail time.

Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, two Georgia election workers, have requested a federal judge hold Rudy Giuliani in civil contempt for repeating debunked claims about them on his podcast.
Giuliani agreed to a court injunction in May prohibiting him from making defamatory statements about the women after being ordered to pay $148 million in damages for defamation.
The election workers allege Giuliani violated the injunction by falsely accusing them of election fraud during two recent episodes of his show, 'America’s Mayor Live.'
A hearing is scheduled for December 12 in Washington, D.C., where Giuliani could face penalties such as fines or jail time if found in contempt.
Freeman and Moss are also working to enforce the $148 million judgment, with Giuliani surrendering some assets but facing accusations of slow compliance in turning over others.
