A federal judge is set to hear arguments Friday on whether to hold Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court for continuing to spread lies about two Georgia election workers after they secured a $148 million defamation judgment against him.
Plaintiffs’ attorneys have asked U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C., to impose civil contempt sanctions against Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who served as Donald Trump's attorney. They say Giuliani has continued to falsely accuse Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, of committing election fraud in connection with the 2020 election.
