A federal judge on Friday found Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court for his continued defamation of two former Georgia election workers, just days after a different federal judge held him in contempt for failing to turn over his assets to them as ordered.

In a courtroom in Washington, D.C., U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell excoriated Giuliani for continuing to defame Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, saying he violated a permanent injunction that he agreed to in May “in at least six ways.”

In November, attorneys for Freeman and Moss asked Howell to find Giuliani in contempt for allegedly violating the injunction to stop claiming that the women engaged in fraud during the 2020 election or repeating any of the statements about them for which he was found liable for defamation. Their attorney said in a motion that the former New York City mayor has continued to accuse the women of wrongdoing on his online show, “America’s Mayor Live,” citing examples in two of his episodes.....

Giuliani has faced nonstop legal troubles due to his allegations against Freeman and Moss. He is set to make another court appearance on Jan. 16, when he goes to trial over the handover of some of his assets, including his World Series rings and his Palm Beach condominium, to the Georgia women.

Is the judge gonna handle Rudy like Merchan just handled Trump?

[OrangeJoe]

9. Tongue lashing

Sounds like Rudy is going to be lectured about his bad behavior. I bet he’s about as scared as a Juvenile delinquent getting yelled at by his mom for beating up someone. BFD.

[onecaliberal]

13. Yes. Weak fucking judge has no balls to sentence these bastards.

[allegorical oracle]

5. Believe Rudy's playing for time...stalling until his bud, TSF, can pardon him. nt

[Volaris]

8. Its civil and state, the only thing trump can do is whine.

[William769]

11. Then why was it a Federal judge that found Rudy in contempt?

[malaise]

6. I love your

This makes me smile
Makes me smile everytime I see it. 😀

[ZonkerHarris]

7. Let him say anything he wants behind bars in jail.

[Mr. Evil]

10. For my 3000th post,

has anyone noticed that TSF hasn't said one thing or went to bat for Ghouliani. Thrown. Under. The. Bus. He's a forgotten entity. Another useful idiot until he's no longer useful. Rudy Ghouliani... nice knowing ya, asshole! And good riddance!

Oh, by the way Rudy, on your way out, familiarize yourself with the letters G, F and Y.

[erronis]

12. Congrats on 3000! They just creep up on you if you're not careful.

Ghouliani won't have to worry about GFY since he will soon not have access to little blue pills and I don't think he is really a desirable target.

[B.See]

18. Under Trump's bus is right. Where he'll

have PLENTY of company. And plenty more to come.

[allegorical oracle]

28. Rudy still plays peek-a-boo at MALago. Rudy's either a total stiff or he's being played by

El-Trumpo.

[ReRe]

14. Why isn't this man in jail yet?

[Evolve Dammit]

17. Prominent, rich, Repub and white?? Pretty obvious. Different rules as we saw today.

[pfitz59]

16. 30 days in the can!

Stop pussy-footing!

[paleotn]

19. Would you just send out the burly guys to take all his stuff already?!

This should not take this long. Just do it. Impoverish the fucker!

[LilElf70]

20. I say

take all his assets and money. Then put his ass in jail for not paying them off in full.

You would think he'd learn after this to not lie so badly. And again, another one of Trumps buddies that should and may go to jail for supporting Trumps lies.

Trump goes unscathed again while everyone else pays the(his) price. It's actually unbelievable.

[DeeDeeNY]

21. LOCK.HIM.UP.

[Renew Deal]

22. I haven't seen anyone talk about what the impact of this is

Jail? Fines?

HAHAHA. Federal judge orders Rudy Giuliani to swear in a statement that records show there was no fraud in the 2020 election. If he doesn’t, he’ll be fined $200 a day.

I check to confirm this story
https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/10/politics/rudy-giuliani-contempt-hearing-defamation-case/index.html

In addition to finding Giuliani in contempt, Howell ordered that within 10 days - Trump’s Inauguration Day – he must swear in a statement sent to the court that he’s reviewed and acknowledges several records showing that there was no fraud in the 2020 election. If he doesn’t do that, he’ll be fined $200 a day.

[spanone]

31. They should have applied this same order to trmp, the biggest, lying bastard.

Rudy Giuliani has been found in contempt of court again, but this time, the judge is using a different tactic.

Thus far, Judge Beryl Howell has not held Giuliani accountable for contempt, but those days are ending. Giuliani appeared before the court on Friday, and the judge mandated that he sign a sworn declaration saying evidence at a 2023 defamation trial refuted his claims about Freeman and Moss. If he doesn't sign the paper, he'll be issued a $200 fee for each day he refuses or ultimately jailed.

It's the first time Giuliani has been threatened with jail time for contempt.

“So what you’re saying is that this defamation is never going to stop?” Howell asked. “He believed it in 2021 when he made the original statements. He believed it all throughout the trial. He believes it today. It’s never going to stop. That’s chilling.”

“Mr. Giuliani does have a history of not completing his financial obligations,” Howell said.

Legal analyst P. Andrew Torrez, who hosts "Law and Chaos," characterized it as Howell "reading him for filth for an hour," before requiring the change.

"Literally any other non-Trump human who displayed this level of open contempt for a court with no signs of remorse would be given a night in lockup to cool their heels with an instruction to come back on your knees with a fulsome apology if you want to be let out," Torrez lamented.
