Rudy Giuliani testifies at contempt-of-court hearing in defamation case
Attorneys for Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss say the former Trump attorney has defied court orders demanding he turn over property and that he should be sanctioned.
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
Donald Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani testified in a New York courtroom Friday for a hearing on whether he should be found in contempt of court for ignoring court orders, including for failing to surrender a signed jersey from the late Yankees Hall of Famer.
The valuable jersey was supposed to be turned over two months ago to help satisfy Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss’ $146 million defamation judgment against Giuliani.
Giuliani said the last time he’d seen the jersey was in September in his New York apartment. “Since it’s missing, I can’t tell you when it would have been moved,” he told their lawyer in his roughly three hours on the stand Friday.
Attorneys for the former Georgia election workers want U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman to find Giuliani in civil contempt for not turning over the jersey and other items he’s repeatedly been ordered surrender.
