NEW YORK – A Manhattan federal judge held Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court after he spent months ignoring court orders in cases brought by two Georgia 2020 election workers he was found liable of defaming.
“The only conclusion the court can draw — and the one it does draw — is that the defendant has been attempting to run the clock,” U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman for the Southern District of New York told Giuliani attorney Joseph Cammarata at a Monday hearing.
Liman said that he was withholding judgment on what sanctions to impose on Giuliani, apart from making adverse inferences against him in an upcoming trial over whether he can claim an exemption that could shield his multi-million dollar Florida condo from being seized to satisfy the election workers’ judgment.
