Rudy Giuliani’s absence from his own civil trial in New York is raising eyebrows, and prompting a flurry of speculation about his motives. The sheer audacity of his no-show is striking; one might expect even a less-than-stellar lawyer to show up for their own defense, but Giuliani’s actions seem to suggest a disregard for the legal process, possibly fueled by a misplaced belief that he’s somehow above the law.
The lack of a default judgment is perplexing to many. Why the seemingly lenient approach from the court? Is there a deliberate effort to avoid a swift resolution, perhaps in an attempt to maintain a semblance of order within a system facing criticism for its perceived inconsistencies?… Continue reading
A federal judge recently held Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court for repeatedly making false claims about election workers. This decision highlights a frustrating pattern where powerful individuals seem to face significantly lighter consequences than ordinary citizens for similar offenses. The judge’s action, while a step towards accountability, is only one small piece of a larger puzzle concerning the unequal application of justice.
The outrage surrounding this case stems from a perceived double standard. Many feel that if an average person made the same false statements, they would face far more severe repercussions, possibly even immediate jail time. The notion that wealth and influence can shield someone from the full weight of the law fuels widespread cynicism about the judicial system.… Continue reading
Judge Lewis J. Liman held Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court for failing to comply with orders to provide information related to a $148 million defamation judgment. Giuliani’s insufficient disclosure of assets, including incomplete lists of doctors and other service providers, led the judge to exclude certain testimony and draw inferences from the missing evidence. This non-compliance stemmed from Giuliani’s claims that requests were overly broad and a “trap,” a justification the judge rejected. The ruling impacts a trial concerning Giuliani’s Florida condominium, with sanctions potentially impacting his ability to retain the property.

A federal judge is considering holding Rudy Giuliani in contempt for failing to comply with court orders to provide information and assets to two Georgia election workers awarded $148 million in a defamation suit.

“I can’t pay my bills,” Rudy Giuliani’s courtroom outburst has sparked a firestorm of reactions, ranging from outrage to schadenfreude. The sheer audacity of the statement, delivered by a man once hailed as “America’s Mayor,” is striking. It’s a stark contrast to the image of a powerful figure, and forces a reconsideration of his past pronouncements on authority and freedom.
The irony isn’t lost on many. Giuliani’s past rhetoric often emphasized the importance of adhering to lawful authority, yet here he is, facing financial consequences for his actions, seemingly unable or unwilling to accept the repercussions. This jarring disconnect between his words and his current predicament fuels much of the public response.… Continue reading
To satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment awarded to Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss, I, Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, have surrendered numerous assets, including dozens of watches, a ring, and a 1980 Mercedes-Benz. While some assets were delivered directly, I contest the immediate surrender of the Mercedes without prior appraisal, arguing it violates Mr. Giuliani’s rights if its value falls below legal exemptions. Further, I’ve requested exemptions for other items based on New York and Florida law, including clothing, household goods, and tools of the trade. Mr. Giuliani maintains this judgment is a result of political persecution and intends to appeal.
