Rudy Giuliani's Trial Denied Postponement

Rudy Giuliani's request to delay his trial set for January 16, 2025, has been denied by U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman, despite his new attorney's argument that Giuliani wishes to attend Donald Trump's inauguration shortly thereafter. The trial will focus on whether Giuliani must surrender assets, including a Florida condo and valuable World Series rings, to cover a $148 million defamation judgment owed to Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. Judge Liman emphasized that Giuliani has already received multiple extensions and that his personal schedule is not a valid reason for postponement. Tensions ran high during the hearing, with Giuliani expressing frustration over his financial situation, claiming that he cannot pay bills due to his assets being tied up. The upcoming trial will also investigate claims regarding Giuliani's son Andrew's potential interest in the World Series rings. This legal battle underscores Giuliani's ongoing difficulties following his controversial actions surrounding the 2020 election.
