Federal judge holds Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court for repeating false claims about election workers
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell admonished Giuliani for continuing to spread lies about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.
Summary
A federal judge in D.C. held Rudy Giuliani in contempt for defying a court order barring him from spreading falsehoods about Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, despite a $148M defamation judgment in 2023.
Judge Beryl Howell fined Giuliani $200 daily until he acknowledges evidence disproving his claims.
Howell warned of possible imprisonment for further violations, calling Giuliani’s behavior “outrageous.”
Plaintiffs seek to stop defamation, while Giuliani claims asset freezes hinder compliance.
His representative criticized the ruling as unconstitutional and biased.

He's pissed because one of the assets they froze is his phylactery
-
Hmm, that's just a magical box. Perhaps you mean they froze his philandering?

Explains why he's looking rougher than usual lately.

Wow. His own lawyer claims Giuliani did not have the opportunity to defend himself from the facts of the case.
Defense is his job as lawyer, for starters. However, the idea that he should be able to defend himself from the facts?!?
My brain hurts cause how completely stupid that statement is. Just pants on fire levels of stupid...

"The public should know that Mayor Rudy Giuliani never had the opportunity to defend himself on the facts in the defamation case."
He has stated, multiple times, that he has evidence what he says is true, but like the mysterious girlfriend in Canada, nobody has ever seen it.
