A federal judge on Nov. 7, 2024 (local time) threatens to hold former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani in civil contempt for failing to surrender his luxury apartment and other belongings to two Georgia election workers he defamed and owes $148 million. US District Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan had on Oct. 22 ordered Giuliani, formerly a US Attorney and personal lawyer to President-elect Donald Trump, to hand over the property to Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea "Shaye" Moss within seven days. The property would partially satisfy a judgment that a Washington, D.C., jury in December 2023 awarded Freeman and Moss, who accused Giuliani of destroying their reputations through lies that they tried to help steal the 2020 US presidential election from Trump.
