Giuliani Ordered to Transfer Assets in Defamation Case

Rudy Giuliani, former New York Mayor and attorney for Donald Trump, has been ordered by a federal judge to turn over valuable assets to Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea 'Shaye' Moss, who won a $148 million defamation case against him. The ruling mandates Giuliani to hand over his Manhattan apartment, a collection of luxury watches, sports memorabilia, and a 1980 Mercedes previously owned by Lauren Bacall. This judgment follows Giuliani's baseless claims of election fraud against the workers during the 2020 presidential election, which subjected them to threats and distress. Although Giuliani must surrender these assets within seven days, the judge deferred decisions on whether he must relinquish his Florida condominium and New York Yankees World Series rings, as these are involved in separate litigation. Giuliani has filed for bankruptcy, complicating the payment of the defamation award. The case highlights the legal repercussions faced by those involved in Trump's election misinformation campaigns.
