New York judge finds Rudy Giuliani in contempt over Georgia defamation case

Afederal judge in New York on Monday found former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court for not complying with court orders regarding financial information and assets in the defamation case of two Georgia election workers. 

Lawyers for former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss argued last week that Giuliani should be held in contempt for not complying with orders to forfeit certain assets like his World Series rings to help pay the $146 million defamation judgment that was levied against him.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman's decision on Monday comes after Giuliani testified for two days about why he was unable to procure the assets and financial information as ordered.
