Rudy Giuliani back in D.C. federal court for contempt hearing in defamation case
CBSN
Rudy Giuliani is set to appear in a Washington, D.C., federal courtroom Friday as a federal judge considers a request from two Georgia election workers to hold the former New York City mayor in contempt for allegedly continuing to defame them in violation of a court order.
A jury in 2023 awarded Ruby Freeman and daughter Shaye Moss $148 million to be paid by Giuliani for falsely claiming the pair engaged in a fake ballot processing scheme in Fulton County, Georgia, during the 2020 presidential election. The federal judge overseeing the case, Beryl Howell, determined Giuliani was liable for defaming Freeman and Moss after they became focal points of his unfounded claims.
Since the trial, Giuliani has appeared in several separate court proceedings about his ability to pay the fine.
