Rudy Giuliani has been ordered by U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman to appear in a New York courtroom to explain why he hasn't surrendered his assets, including a $5 million Manhattan apartment and a 1980 Mercedes, as part of a $148 million defamation judgment awarded to Ruby Freeman and Wandrea 'Shaye' Moss. The former New York City mayor's possessions were to be handed over by October 29, but when Freeman and Moss’s representatives visited his apartment, it was found largely emptied. Giuliani, who has filed for bankruptcy following the judgment, was spotted in Florida driving the Mercedes he was supposed to turn over, raising concerns he might be hiding assets. His lawyer claims Giuliani intends to comply but has not received necessary documentation to proceed. The defamation case stemmed from false claims Giuliani made about election fraud during the 2020 presidential election, which led to threats against Freeman and Moss. Giuliani's request to delay the court appearance was denied, and he is expected to attend the hearing in person.
