Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, is set to appear in a New York City courtroom to address a federal judge regarding his failure to surrender his assets as part of a $148 million defamation judgment. This judgment stems from a case involving two former Georgia election workers who were awarded the substantial sum.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman had instructed Giuliani to relinquish various valuables, including his $5 million Upper East Side apartment, a vintage 1980 Mercedes once owned by actress Lauren Bacall, a shirt autographed by New York Yankees icon Joe DiMaggio, numerous luxury watches, and other valuable items. However, when representatives for the election workers visited Giuliani's Manhattan apartment, they found it had been mostly emptied out weeks prior.
