Rudy Giuliani Faces Legal Sanctions Over Defamation Case Noncompliance

The former New York mayor is accused of defying court orders and missing deadlines in a $148 million defamation judgment brought by Georgia election workers.

Attorneys for Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss have requested severe sanctions against Rudy Giuliani for failing to comply with court orders in a defamation case.
Giuliani, ordered to pay $148 million for defaming the election workers, has been accused of withholding documents and assets, including his Florida condominium.
A judge rejected Giuliani's unsigned request for an extension to respond to a contempt motion, citing his legal experience and failure to follow procedural rules.
Freeman and Moss allege that Giuliani has continued to defame them despite a court injunction prohibiting such actions, prompting calls for civil contempt sanctions.
Giuliani, who claims difficulty finding legal representation, is scheduled for a deposition on December 27, with a trial on asset disposition beginning January 16.
