A federal judge found Rudy Giuliani, former personal lawyer to Donald Trump, in contempt of court Friday for the second time this week.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell’s ruling was in response to Giuliani refusing to turn over requested financial records in a defamation case brought against him by former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, whom he repeatedly and falsely accused of committing fraud while serving as Georgia poll workers during the 2020 presidential election.
It’s “outrageous and shameful that Mr. Giuliani suggests that he is the one being treated unfairly,” Howell said in court, according to reporters in the room. “This takes real chutzpah, Mr. Giuliani.”
Howell also ordered the former New York City mayor to sign a sworn declaration stating he’d seen all the trial evidence. She threatened potential jail time if he fails to sign it within the next 10 days.
