A judge presiding over Rudy Giuliani’s damages trial penalized the lawyer Friday for his “continued and flagrant” disregard of court order.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said the decision means jurors will be told that Giuliani intentionally hid financial documents and other records in defiance of court orders.
Howell ruled in August that Giuliani is legally liable for defaming Georgia election workers in attempts to further false claims that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election.
The order makes it clear that Giuliani and his counsel will not be able to introduce evidence to state or suggest that he is “insolvent, bankrupt, judgment proof, or otherwise unable to defend himself, comply with this Court’s orders, or satisfy and eventual judgement.
