Giuliani's Legal Troubles Deepen: Condo, Rings at Stake

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is facing a trial in New York to determine if he must forfeit his Palm Beach condo and three World Series rings to two Georgia election workers. This comes after Giuliani was held in contempt of court twice in one week for refusing to fully comply with evidence requests related to his assets.

The Judge's Rulings:

Judge Lewis J. Liman, who previously held Giuliani in contempt, has issued several rulings impacting the trial:

• Giuliani cannot use texts or emails to prove a change of residence to Florida due to his failure to provide them as evidence.
• The judge can draw negative conclusions from the missing evidence.
• Any claims of shifting professional services to Florida after January 1, 2024, might be rejected.

Giuliani claims some evidence requests were overly broad or a “trap,” but the court is now considering seizing his assets.

The Assets in Question:

The main assets in dispute are:

• Palm Beach condo (estimated worth: over $3 million)
• Three World Series rings

Giuliani has already surrendered other assets, including a NYC apartment, a Mercedes, and luxury watches.

The Background:

The case stems from a $148 million defamation judgment awarded to Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, who suffered death threats due to Giuliani’s false claims about the 2020 election.

The court is even considering seizing Giuliani's World Series rings, raising questions about their location and ownership.

This legal battle continues to unfold, with the outcome potentially having significant financial implications for Giuliani.
