Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani scoffed Thursday at claims he was blocking an order handy over assets to 2 Georgia election officials he defamed.
“They just lied,” Giuliani said as he headed to federal court in Manhattan for a hearing on the dispute. A lawyer for the ladies claimed that property that was the topic of a forfeiture order within the defamation case was missing from his Manhattan apartment during a recent inspection.
“My apartment was full of belongings,” the previous New York mayor said, based on NBC News. “All the things that were appropriate were there. And the apartment was pretty full of things.”
“So you're just completely lying,” he drove on Tuesday in a Mercedes-Benz to a polling station in Florida, where he was delivered to the ladies Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Moss.
Giuliani expressed outrage at a judge's order to seem in court in person on Thursday, saying it was “like political persecution.”
Giuliani was found liable in federal court in Washington, D.C., for defaming the 2 women by claiming they committed voter fraud at a counting site throughout the 2020 presidential election, when he represented President-elect Donald Trump. He was ordered to pay them $146 million within the case.
Asked Thursday whether Trump had called him since he won the last presidential election, Giuliani replied: “Yes.”
Asked what Trump said, Giuliani replied: “I’m not going to tell you.”
