Watch live: Rudy Giuliani due to appear in Manhattan court for contempt hearing Watch live as Rudy Giuliani is due to appear in Manhattan federal court on Friday, 3 January, where a judge will consider a request by two Georgia election workers to whom he owes $148m for defamation to hold him in civil contempt for failing to turn over his assets.
Giuliani is now scheduled to appear at a contempt hearing when District Judge Lewis Liman will hear why he believes he should not face “severe” sanctions for what the election workers have complained is his failure to comply with court orders and skipping deadlines.
After the bankruptcy case was dismissed, mother-and-daughter poll workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss are now attempting to collect his assets for the damages, including his Mercedes Benz, Manhattan penthouse, and luxury watches.
The former New York City mayor defamed a pair of election workers, resulting in the damages awarded to the women that drove him to declare bankruptcy.
