Giuliani ordered to appear in court over asset relinquishment

A Manhattan judge on Wednesday issued an order for Rudy Giuliani to appear before him to face claims that he should be held in contempt after months of failing to turn over his assets to two Georgia poll workers who won a $146 million defamation lawsuit.

Judge Lewis J. Liman in Manhattan signed the order calling Giuliani to appear before him on Jan. 3, according to the Associated Press. He will also face trial on Jan. 16 before Liman over the disposition of his Florida residence and World Series rings.

Liman had previously warned him about misconduct inside the courtroom. The disbarred lawyer interrupted Liman during a November hearing to combat accusations of wrongdoing in postponing the transfer of his property.

His assets range from a New York apartment, expensive jewelry, sports memorabilia and a Mercedes.

Throughout the legal proceedings, Giuliani has claimed he was “unfairly punished” and a victim of “political persecution.”

Giuliani created a GoFundMe page to raise money for his cost of living, citing a dire need for financial support.

“They have seized all my money, which wasn’t much. I need legal representation against these evil people,” he wrote online.

“I can’t buy food.”

However, the Georgia poll workers who Giuliani accused of ballot fraud said they faced death threats as a direct result of his actions.

The two are awaiting restitution despite Giuliani’s resistance.
