Rudy Giuliani will face a mini-trial in federal court in January to determine if he can exempt his Florida condo from election workers trying to seize his assets to collect on the $150 million defamation verdict against him Giuliani’s son, Andrew, is expected to appear at trial to also testify about the ownership of World Series rings he claims his father had gifted him. The trial over the Florida property will follow a contempt hearing scheduled for January 3, when District Judge Lewis Liman will hear from Trump’s former attorney why he should not face severe sanctions for repeatedly dodging court orders and deadlines in the case. Giuliani will also face a contempt hearing in Washington, D.C., next month, after election workers accused him of repeatedly violating a court order that prevents him from repeating the same false statements about them.
