Giuliani Trial Delayed by Absence

Rudy Giuliani's trial to determine whether he must forfeit his Florida condominium and World Series rings was delayed by over 90 minutes due to his unexplained absence. Scheduled for Thursday morning, the federal court proceeding was set to address a $148 million defamation judgment against him, awarded to two former Georgia election workers he falsely accused of election fraud. Giuliani claims the Palm Beach condo is his primary residence and is protected under Florida law, while he argues the World Series rings are no longer his property as he gifted them to his son. This trial follows Giuliani being found in contempt by a judge for failing to disclose asset information, and he has also faced similar contempt findings in Washington, D.C. While he posted a video of his dog on social media during his tardiness, his spokesperson did not comment on his absence from court. The outcome will determine if Giuliani can retain these assets or if they will be turned over to satisfy the judgment.
