A federal judge in New York City has found Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court for failing to properly respond to information requests in a $148 million defamation judgment against him.

Summary

Rudy Giuliani was found in contempt of court for failing to comply with evidence requests in a $148 million defamation case brought by two Georgia election workers.

The judge ruled Giuliani “willfully violated” court orders, including missing a deadline to provide evidence about whether his Palm Beach condo is a primary residence or a vacation home subject to seizure.

Giuliani has surrendered some assets but failed to provide key items, such as sports memorabilia and cash account details.

A trial is set for later this month to resolve the asset dispute.

    He’s losing this case on the merits, frankly the judge is being too lenient on him since he’s a former lawyer and prosecutor who definitely knows better but is lying anyway, but his lawyer and publicist are telling the reporters after court that this is all a liberal witch hunt.
