☆ Rudy Giuliani must give control of luxury items and Manhattan apartment to Georgia election workers he defamed, judge rules

Judge Lewis Liman of the federal court in Manhattan said Giuliani must turn over his interest in the property to the women in seven days, to a receivership they will control. The judge’s turnover order of the luxury items is swift and simple, but the penthouse apartment will have its control transferred so Freeman and Moss can sell it, potentially for millions of dollars. The women, who counted Georgia ballots after the 2020 election, will also be entitled to about $2 million in legal fees Giuliani has said the Trump campaign still owes him, the judge ruled. Additionally, the judge ordered that Giuliani turn over his television, items of furniture and jewelry. Neither Giuliani’s spokesman nor lawyers for Freeman and Moss immediately responded to requests for comment.

New York Magazine announced Monday that it is parting ways with star political reporter Olivia Nuzzi, whose previously undisclosed personal relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. led to an investigation into her work during the 2024 campaign. This investigation, conducted by the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine, “reached the same conclusion as the magazine’s initial internal review of her published work, finding no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias,” New York Magazine said in a statement on its website. Kennedy’s spokesperson, meanwhile, wrote that the former presidential candidate “only met Olivia Nuzzi once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece.”Nuzzi wrote a profile on Kennedy in November 2023, headlined: “The Mind-Bending Politics of RFK Jr.’s Spoiler Campaign.” Its subheading read: “He’s a conservative. And he could turn the presidential race upside down.”Kennedy dropped out of the race in late August and endorsed Donald Trump. He is the son of the late Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and is married to “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star actress Cheryl Hines.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visited Ukraine on Monday, in a show of solidarity with Kyiv just two weeks ahead of a U.S. presidential election that is casting uncertainty over the future of Western support. “We’re going to continue to support Ukraine in its efforts to defend its sovereign territory,” Austin told reporters travelling with him to Ukraine. Trump has signaled he would be more reluctant than Biden to continue to support Ukraine, which could deprive Kyiv of its biggest military and financial backer. “I’ve seen bipartisan support for Ukraine over the last 2-1/2 years, and I fully expect that we’ll continue to see the bipartisan support from Congress,” he said. Even with billions of dollars worth of U.S. military support, including the provision of F-16 fighter jets, Abrams tanks and more, Ukraine faces a tough fight ahead.
