Rudy Giuliani is held in contempt of court in $148 million defamation case

NPR  

Rudy Giuliani is held in contempt of court in $148 million defamation case toggle caption Adam Gray/AP NEW YORK — Rudy Giuliani was found in contempt of court Monday for failing to properly respond to requests for information as he turned over assets to satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment granted to two Georgia election workers. Judge Lewis J. Liman ruled after hearing Giuliani testify for a second day at a contempt hearing called after lawyers for the election workers said the former New York City mayor had failed to properly comply with requests for evidence over the last few months. Liman said Giuliani "willfully violated a clear and unambiguous order of this court" when he "blew past" a Dec. 20 deadline to turn over evidence that would help the judge decide at a trial later this month whether Giuliani can keep a Palm Beach, Florida, condominium as his residence or must turn it over because it is deemed a vacation home. Liman labeled one of Giuliani's claims "preposterous" and said that being suspicious of the intent of lawyers for the election workers was "not an excuse for violating court orders."
