Giuliani assets will transfer to Georgia election workers he defamed
A federal judge has ordered former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani to place numerous assets, including cash, jewelry and his New York apartment, into a receivership controlled by two former Georgia election workers as they seek to collect a $148 million defamation claim against him.
The 24-page ruling issued Tuesday orders Giuliani to place the assets into a receivership within seven days. But U.S. District Court Judge Lewis J. Liman of New York ordered the “immediate turnover” of Giuliani’s apartment on the Upper East Side, which is already for sale.
Liman also orders Giuliani to take legal steps that would allow the election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, to seek an estimated $2 million in legal fees that Giuliani has said he is owed by Donald Trump’s campaign organization and the Republican National Committee for his work leading Trump’s post-2020 election legal challenges.
