Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani was criticized by a judge for failing to adhere to court orders to hand over his assets to two former Georgia election workers he defamed. Giuliani claimed he had no means to comply, citing restrictions on his business accounts and lack of personal assets.
The former New York City mayor was chastised by the judge for failing to comply with court orders to turn over his assets to the two former Georgia election workers he defamed.had not been complying with court orders to surrender his assets, Giuliani snapped: “The implications you are making against me are wrong. I have no car, no credit card, no cash, everything I have is tied up. They have put stop orders on my business accounts, and I can’t pay my bills.
"I did apply for it!" Giuliani barked, shaking his head."What am I supposed to do, make it up myself? Your implication that I have not been diligent about it is totally incorrect," he continued, before complaining about his financial woes. “Mr. Giuliani has delivered 18 watches and one diamond ring to the address provided by the Receivers,” the filing said, but still has nine more watches he’s supposed hand over.
Liman rejected the request. “You can’t restart the clock by firing one counsel and hiring another. He has already received multiple extensions and missed multiple deadlines,” the judge said, warning that Giuliani could face sanctions and potential incarceration if he doesn't comply with his orders. After court, Giuliani suggested the trial is unnecessary because Liman is"going to rule against me. If you were sitting in the courtroom and couldn't figure it out, you're stupid."
