A federal judge on Thursday threatened to hold Rudy Giuliani in contempt after the former New York City mayor missed a court-imposed deadline to surrender his assets to two Georgia election workers he defamed.
At stake is a 1980 Mercedes-Benz convertible, more than a dozen luxury watches and bank accounts holding an unknown amount of cash. Giuliani must turn over the property to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who won a $148 million defamation verdict against him last year after Giuliani falsely accused them of committing election fraud in the 2020 election.
At one point during a court hearing Thursday, while lawyers were discussing the whereabouts of certain jewelry, Giuliani removed a gold ring from his pinky finger, placed it on the defense table and motioned to his lawyer, appearing to suggest his lawyer hand it to the plaintiffs’ attorneys on the spot.
