In 2020, Rudy Giuliani was found in contempt of court in a defamation case related to the 2020 election.

A judge has found Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court for not providing information about his assets related to his defamation verdict, which requires him to pay $148 million to two Georgia election workers.

Judge Lewis Liman of the U.S. District Court in New York ruled that former Trump lawyer and New York mayor violated a clear court order by submitting information past the December 20 deadline.

Giuliani tried to delay the proceedings by withholding information about assets he could use to pay election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss, whom he accused of committing fraud during the 2020 election, according to Liman.

On Friday and Monday, Giuliani, 80, testified for three hours each time about the delays in sharing information about his assets.

Giuliani will face sanctions from Liman for contempt, but the specifics of those sanctions have not yet been determined.

A new trial will be held on January 16 to determine whether the New York Yankees World Series ring and Giuliani's Florida home can be used to pay off his debt to Freeman and Moss.
