Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani was held in contempt of court by a federal judge on Jan. 10 for evading an agreement not to make new false claims about two Georgia election workers. In 2023, he was ordered to pay the workers $148 million for falsely accusing them of tampering with the 2020 presidential election.
In fact, it was the second time this week that Giuliani was held in contempt of court. On Jan. 6, he got in more legal troubles for failing to turn over personal property and information to the two election workers. Judge Lewis Liman said he "has not turned over a single dollar" in order to satisfy the $148 million judgement against him.
