Rudy Giuliani fails to surrender apartment and belongings to women he defamed, as new lawyer holds press conference on sidewalk.
Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, is facing legal troubles after defaming two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss. A judge has ruled that Giuliani must pay $148 million in damages to the two women. However, Giuliani has missed several deadlines to make the payments, only turning over a portion of his personal assets, including luxury items like a luxury apartment, rare Yankees memorabilia, high-end watches, and a vintage Mercedes-Benz convertible.
Giuliani’s latest legal maneuver involves hiring a new lawyer, a Staten Island divorce attorney, to provide updates on the situation. Despite the email blast announcing this move, there has been no significant progress in resolving the legal dispute. If Giuliani fails to fully comply with the court’s orders, he could face severe penalties, including jail time. Additionally, he may face further consequences if a federal judge in Washington, D.C., finds him in contempt for continuing to defame the two women.
Giuliani’s legal battle highlights the consequences of defamation and the importance of complying with court judgments. Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing legal saga.
