NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday ordered Rudy Giuliani to appear in court in early January to face claims that he should be held in contempt for failing to turn over assets including a New York apartment lease and a signed Joe DiMaggio shirt to two Georgia election poll workers who won a libel case against him.

Judge Lewis J. Liman in Manhattan signed the order calling for the former New York City mayor and onetime personal lawyer to President-elect Donald Trump to appear before him on Jan. 3.

Lawyers for the election workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment said in court papers that Giuliani has failed to turn over the lease to the apartment, a Mercedes, various watches and jewelry, a signed Joe DiMaggio shirt and other baseball mementos, among other items.

Giuliani also faces a trial Jan. 16 before Liman over the disposition of his Florida residence and World Series rings.

3. He's waiting for Shitler to pardon him.

5. Rudy is deluded in the true sense.

I believe he has legitimately convinced himself he can ignore judges and court orders with immunity.
I don't even believe he thinks he's breaking the law. He may have developed a mental disorder from the massive judgement against him that he's living in total denial that it's really happening to him.

He's still "America's Mayor" in his mind, a hero to all mankind and all he has to do is ignore the inconvenient court decisions until they go away. In actuality, he's a broken man, a has been who flew too close to the Sun and lost it all to an ego driven mission to promote Trump.

6. An apartment lease??? I thought he owned it.

7. I think the term is the technicality that it is in a large building (that he doesn't own) with other condos

but he owns the space within that large building that is designated as a condo (a/k/a an "apartment" vs it being a freestanding "house" where one might own the land that the house sits on too).

8. Rich/previously rich f*ckers seem to never go to jail.

We do not have a 2-teir justice system, it's more like a 3-5 tier depending on how much $$$$ you have and/or who you know, or just who 'bought you'.

10. How long can he drag this out?

11. any of the rest of us would be in jail already for contempt. fuck you Rudy die in prison

[BobTheSubgenius]

12. Accept the contempt ruling, Rudy.

3 hots and a cot. You should give that deal serious consideration, because I don't see any good options for you. Not that we should care.

In the words of my son, to a guy I worked for that had ZERO boundaries who called at 1:45am and demanded that he wake me

It was one of my proudest moments as a parent.
