A federal judge in New York found Rudy Giuliani in contempt for failing to turn over assets tied to a $148 million defamation judgment awarded to two Georgia election workers. Despite surrendering some assets, Giuliani has not provided necessary documentation or fully complied with court orders.
The ruling follows Giuliani’s false claims about election workers tampering with ballots during the 2020 election. His legal team argued that some document requests were overly broad and cited ongoing legal battles as a strain.
Giuliani’s failure to disclose key assets, including a Joe DiMaggio jersey and cash accounts, has raised concerns about his Palm Beach property. His attorneys maintain it is his primary residence and should be protected from seizure.
