Former New York City mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani was held in contempt of court on Monday for failing to provide requested discovery information in a defamation case filed by two Georgia poll workers. Judge Lewis Liman criticized Giuliani for 'willfully violating' a court order and attempting to 'run out the clock' on the case. This ruling adds pressure on Giuliani to pay the $148 million in damages he was ordered to turn over to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss in 2023.
The former New York City mayor and Trump attorney—who left what little dignity he had left in the Four Seasons Total Landscaping parking lot four years ago—was held in contempt of court Monday for failing to turn over discovery information to the Georgia poll workers he defamed during his slapstick effort to help his boss overturn the 2020 election, the latest beat in his long-running public humiliation.
The 80-year-old has failed to comply, with Freeman and Moss accusing him of using bankruptcy to avoid turning over his assets and Liman ruling Monday that he “blew past” a court order to make an $11 million down payment to the defamed election workers and to provide discovery information in a timely fashion.
