Rudy Giuliani Could Be Jailed For Contempt Today

Politico reports:

Rudy Giuliani’s legal problems are about to get even worse. Two federal judges are mulling whether to hold him in contempt — a punishment that could potentially include throwing him in jail — for defying court orders. And the former New York City mayor is facing a trial later this month about whether he must turn over his Palm Beach condo to two Georgia women who won a $148 million defamation verdict against him in 2023.

Giuliani also remains under criminal indictment in Arizona and Georgia for his efforts to help Donald Trump subvert the 2020 election. First up is a hearing in Manhattan federal court on Friday in which Judge Lewis Liman will weigh a request by Freeman and Moss to hold Giuliani in contempt and impose “severe” sanctions on him. Giuliani has a second contempt hearing on Jan. 10 — this time in Washington in front of Judge Beryl Howell.
