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.
