A trial to determine whether Rudy Giuliani must surrender assets, including a Florida condo and World Series rings, to satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment was delayed after Giuliani's absence. The former New York mayor faces accusations of failing to turn over information on his assets and repeating false claims about the 2020 election.
ByGiuliani may have to turn the items over to the women he was convicted of defaming in Georgia.A trial to decide whether former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani must give up his Florida condominium and three World Series rings or turn them over to satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment was delayed by more than 90 minutes Thursday after Giuliani didn't show up to testify.
Giuliani, 80, was to testify before the same judge who last week found him in contempt for failing to turn over information on some of his assets to the women's lawyers. As punishment, Judge Lewis J. Liman banned Giuliani from introducing some evidence. Among them is his condominium in Palm Beach, Florida, which he can hang onto if he can prove it is his homestead. The former mayor says he established residence there in January 2024, but lawyers for the election workers say he continued to operate as if his New York apartment was his residence until it was surrendered in the fall as part of the judgement.At a recent hearing, Giuliani said he is "not impoverished" but does not have access to most of his remaining assets.
Giuliani said during a deposition last month that George Steinbrenner, the late New York Yankees owner, gave him the rings in 2002, although he insisted on paying for them and told Steinbrenner: "These are for Andrew." He testified that he gave one to Andrew immediately and kept three others for safekeeping. He estimated their total worth at $27,000.
