U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C., is the second federal judge this week to find the former New York City mayor in contempt of court.
Rudy Giuliani was found in contempt of court Friday for continuing to spread lies about two former Georgia election workers after a jury awarded the women a $148 million defamation judgment.to find the former New York City mayor in contempt of court.
Plaintiffs’ attorneys have asked U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C., to impose civil contempt sanctions against Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who served as Donald Trump's attorney. They say Giuliani has continued to falsely accuse Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, of committing election fraud in connection with the 2020 election.
Giuliani's attorneys argued that the plaintiffs haven't presented “clear and convincing” evidence that he violated a court order in the defamation case in comments that he made on November podcasts about alleged ballot counting irregularities in Georgia. Giuliani, who testified in Liman’s Manhattan courtroom Jan. 3, said he didn't turn over everything because he believed the requests were overly broad, inappropriate or even a “trap” set by plaintiffs' lawyers.
