Rudy Giuliani, former New York Mayor and ally of Donald Trump, is expected to attend a court hearing in New York regarding potential contempt of court charges. His attorney requested a remote appearance citing medical issues, but the judge expressed skepticism and warned Giuliani that he may not be able to present certain evidence if he appears remotely.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is expected at a court hearing in New York Friday about whether he should be found in contempt of court . Giuliani's attorney asked the judge in a letter Thursday whether his client could appear remotely because he is 'having medical issues with his left knee and breathing problems due to lung issues discovered last year' attributable to his presence at the World Trade Center site in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. U.S.
District Judge Lewis Liman indicated he was skeptical of the 11th-hour request, noting that Giuliani 'does not assert he is unable to travel,' that he submitted 'no medical evidence' and that he didn't follow proper procedure for such a request. 'He has presented no evidence why for this hearing, where the Court has been asked to hold him in contempt, where his credibility has been called into question, and where Plaintiffs have asked for an opportunity to cross-examine him in person, he should be permitted to deny Plaintiffs that opportunity and to appear remotely,' Liman wrote. He didn't order Giuliani to attend the hearing, but he warned him he couldn't use his recent sworn declarations and deposition transcript as part of his defense at the hearing if he doesn't. 'Defendant cannot ask the Court both to consider his out-of-court signed declarations and to deprive Plaintiffs of the opportunity to cross-examine him on his statements in open court,' Liman wrote in a ruling late Thursday. Giuliani’s attorney Joseph Cammarata told NBC News Thursday night his client would be attending. Lawyers for former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss have asked Liman to hold Giuliani in contempt for disregarding court orders directing him to turn over assets to help satisfy their $146 million defamation judgment against him
