Judge signals that contempt hearing for Rudy Giuliani over his assets might not go well for him
- A federal judge is signaling that Rudy Giuliani's contempt hearing next Friday might not end so well for the former New York City mayor and onetime personal lawyer for President-elect Donald Trump as two Georgia election poll workers try to collect a $148 million defamation award they won against him.
Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, is facing a potential contempt hearing due to his failure to comply with court orders related to his financial disclosures in a defamation lawsuit filed by Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. The lawsuit stems from Giuliani's false claims that the workers committed election fraud during the 2020 election. U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell has indicated that Giuliani's non-compliance with discovery requests, including not providing information about his assets and finances, could lead to unfavorable outcomes for him in the upcoming hearing. The judge has already found Giuliani liable for defamation, with the only remaining issue being the amount of damages he must pay. The contempt hearing is set to address Giuliani's apparent disregard for court orders, which could result in sanctions or other penalties.
