Former New York City mayor ordered to report to court after date passed to surrender valuables as part of $148m defamation judgement

Summary

Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to appear in a New York City court on Thursday after missing a deadline to surrender assets, including his $5m apartment and valuable memorabilia, as part of a $148m defamation judgment.

The judgment stems from Giuliani’s false claims against Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whom he accused of election fraud in 2020, leading to severe harassment for both women.

Lawyers for Freeman and Moss reported Giuliani’s apartment had been cleared out, with valuables moved to storage weeks ago. Giuliani’s team calls the demands intimidation tactics.

    And he’s right. I’m sure he’s getting pardoned immediately. Just delay a few more months and it all goes away.

    There is no justice in this country, just vindictive assholes who will smack the hammer down on anyone who dares to try to attempt justice.

      He has nothing to offer anymore. He completely lost his status even with the fascists.

      Can’t pardon him for state crimes

        This is a proceeding in federal court, but the president’s pardon power doesn’t extend to civil cases anyway. Or at least until the Supreme Court rules that it does.

        It’s not even a crime, it’s a civil lawsuit they filed
