The Georgia election workers can now go after former President Donald Trump and the RNC for the $2 million they still owe Giuliani from the 2020 election.
Topline
Ex-attorney Rudy Giuliani must start turning over his personal assets and property to the Georgia election workers he defamed within the next seven days, a federal judge ruled Tuesday, after Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss fought to get the $148 million Giuliani was ordered to pay them nearly a year ago as he faces continued financial troubles.Key Facts
Giuliani was ordered to pay Freeman and Moss $148 million in damages in December for spreading lies about them after the 2020 election, and the plaintiffs are now owed that payment after a federal judge upheld the judgment against Giuliani in April.
Giuliani does not have $148 million in cash to pay them and filed for bankruptcy in December as a result of the ruling, so a judge has had to figure out how Giuliani’s assets should be turned over to the election workers in order to satisfy the judgment.
U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman ruled Tuesday that Giuliani must turn over specific “personal and real property in his possession” to Freeman and Moss within seven days, including the ownership of his New York City apartment, cash in his bank account, a Mercedes-Benz, some furniture, a television, sports memorabilia, “costume jewelry,” a diamond ring and 26 watches.
