Giuliani warned by furious judge he could be forced to testify under oath on his finances

Former President Donald Trump ally Rudy Giuliani could be forced by an irate federal judge to testify under oath about his personal finances, Scripps News' legal affairs correspondent Ava-joye Burnett reported on Wednesday. This comes after the judge, Sean Lane, already dismissed Giuliani's bankruptcy protection, finding that he had not been transparent about his finances and failed to meet key deadlines for disclosures. "If your client persists in this course of action, which is essentially to stick his head in the sand, there are a lot of things that your client doesn't want to happen, will happen," said Lane, giving Giuliani's defense team until noon tomorrow to explain how they will move forward. All of this comes as Giuliani faces an avalanche of additional legal problems, including criminal indictment in the Georgia election racketeering case — although this matter is currently on hold pending an ethics review of the prosecutor — and disbarment in New York State.
