Donald Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani is set to answer more questions after facing a grilling last week at a contempt-of-court hearing stemming from his failure to surrender valuable items to satisfy a $146 million defamation judgment against him. At stake is whether Giuliani should be held in contempt for defying court orders to surrender valuable items, including a New York Yankees jersey autographed by Hall of Fame outfielder Joe DiMaggio. Freeman and Moss have asked U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman to find Giuliani in civil contempt for failing to hand over the jersey and other items intended to supplement their $146 million judgment against him. The pair was awarded the sum in their defamation lawsuit against Giuliani, who they said had spread falsities about Trump’s election loss in 2020 resulting in an onslaught of racist and violent threats against them. Their attorneys had urged the judge in a court filing to apply “appropriate sanctions” to prompt Giuliani’s compliance with court orders after he repeatedly ran afoul of deadlines to turn over assets and financial data.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is expected at a court hearing in New York Friday about whether he should be found in contempt of court, an appearance the longtime ally of President-elect Donald Trump sought to skip at the last minute. "Defendant cannot ask the Court both to consider his out-of-court signed declarations and to deprive Plaintiffs of the opportunity to cross-examine him on his statements in open court," Liman wrote in a ruling late Thursday. "Enough is enough," they wrote in a court filing urging Liman to slap Giuliani with "appropriate sanctions" to get him to comply with the orders. Their filing doesn't specify what those sanctions should be; the judge could fine or even jail Giuliani if he finds him in contempt. The contempt proceeding is one of two Giuliani faces relating to Freeman and Moss.
