Rudy Giuliani, former New York mayor and Trump attorney, told a Manhattan federal court he could not pay his bills during a hearing over a nearly $150 million defamation judgment awarded to Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. The case stems from Giuliani’s promotion of false claims about the 2020 election. Judge Liman criticized Rudy Giuliani for not complying with asset surrender orders, prompting Giuliani to claim financial hardship and lack of access to his funds. Outside court, Rudy Giuliani accused Judge Liman of bias, calling him a serious leftwing Democrat despite acknowledging his Trump nomination.
