Rudy Giuliani has turned over his 1980 Mercedes-Benz convertible, his luxury watch collection and a diamond ring, marking a partial end to a saga where the former mayor of New York City has tried to outrun the court system as two Georgia election workers try to collect on a $150 million debt he has owed them for a year.
Rudy Giuliani has turned over his 1980 Mercedes-Benz convertible, his luxury watch collection and a diamond ring, marking a partial end to a saga where the former mayor of New York City has tried to outrun the court system as two Georgia election workers try to collect on a $150 million debt he has owed them for a year. An attorney representing Giuliani told a federal judge in New York that the ring and watches were delivered by FedEx and the car “was delivered as requested” in Florida. Giuliani also told his bank to turn over at least $30,000 in a bank account, according to a Friday court filing. The filing, by Staten Island lawyer Joseph Cammarata, who took on Giuliani’s case Friday, according to the court record, is a notable moment for Georgia mother and daughter Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who suffered serious harassment from election deniers after the 2020 election because Giuliani smeared them publicly and repeatedly while working as a lawyer for now-President-elect Donald Trump. Giuliani lost his law license following the ordeal, yet is back in Trump’s fold. The court filing on Friday noted he plans to attend events around Trump’s 2024 presidential inauguration. Moss and Freeman’s lawyers had not filed a response in court as of Friday evening, which was the turnover deadline for Giuliani, and declined to comment to CNN. If Giuliani didn’t give up the full list of items ordered by a judge last month, he could be held in contempt of court.Giuliani’s spokesman Ted Goodman posted a video on social media showing himself at a FedEx store with more than a dozen watches and a ring laid out on a table. Goodman said in the video he was shipping the watches from Florida. “This is the accumulation of sixty years of hard work. Many of these watches hold great sentimental value, and he’s being forced to turn all these over under court order,” Goodman, wearing a Trump Palm Beach polo shirt, said in the video.
