Giuliani Appeals Order To Surrender Physical Assets

The Hill reports:

Rudy Giuliani has appealed a judge’s decision last month ordering him to turn over most of his assets to two Georgia election workers to satisfy their $146 million defamation judgment.

After months of collection efforts, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman on Oct. 22 ordered Giuliani to hand over his New York apartment, Mercedes-Benz, luxury watches, signed New York Yankees memorabilia and cash, among other items.

The former New York City mayor then missed the deadline to comply, but his new attorney has indicated much of the property has since been transferred. Giuliani, who had consented to much of the turnover order, is now hoping to reverse it, filing a notice of appeal to bring the matter before the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Read the full article. Yesterday a different federal judge scheduled a December hearing where Giuliani will face a potential civil contempt charge for continuing to defame the election workers on his radio show. The charge carries a possible penalty of up to six months in jail.
