A federal judge held Rudy Giuliani in civil contempt for failing to comply with court orders related to a $146 million defamation judgment awarded to former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman ruled Giuliani had willfully delayed providing required information about his assets and professional accounts.
Judge Liman imposed narrow sanctions, barring Giuliani from presenting certain evidence at a trial later this month regarding his Florida condo. The judge will decide on further penalties soon. Giuliani, facing numerous legal battles, argued delays stemmed from challenges with former attorneys.
Freeman and Moss, who sued Giuliani over false claims of election fraud, continue efforts to collect his remaining assets. Giuliani’s new lawyer urged the court to reject severe sanctions, citing his compliance efforts. A separate contempt hearing in Washington, D.C., on related accusations is set for Friday.
