Trump's Lawyer LOSES ENTIRE LIFE at Court Hearing - Meidas Touch



A Trump appointed federal judge just nailed Rudy Giuliani with contempt and is one step closer to ripping his Palm Beach County condo away from him and turning it over to defamed election workers Shay Moss and Ruby Freeman to help pay down their $148 million dollar judgment against him. Michael Popok enters the world of “adverse inferences” and how it gives Rudy what his lawyer is calling the “death penalty” - 01/06/2025.

This makes me smile



HAHAHA. Federal judge orders Rudy Giuliani to swear in a statement that records show there was no fraud in the 2020 election. If he doesn’t, he’ll be fined $200 a day.

I check to confirm this story

In addition to finding Giuliani in contempt, Howell ordered that within 10 days - Trump’s Inauguration Day – he must swear in a statement sent to the court that he’s reviewed and acknowledges several records showing that there was no fraud in the 2020 election. If he doesn’t do that, he’ll be fined $200 a day.

Judge Howell may send Rudy to jail if contempt continues



https://www.rawstory.com/rudy-giuliani-contempt/

Rudy Giuliani has been found in contempt of court again, but this time, the judge is using a different tactic.

Thus far, Judge Beryl Howell has not held Giuliani accountable for contempt, but those days are ending. Giuliani appeared before the court on Friday, and the judge mandated that he sign a sworn declaration saying evidence at a 2023 defamation trial refuted his claims about Freeman and Moss. If he doesn't sign the paper, he'll be issued a $200 fee for each day he refuses or ultimately jailed.

It's the first time Giuliani has been threatened with jail time for contempt.

“So what you’re saying is that this defamation is never going to stop?” Howell asked. “He believed it in 2021 when he made the original statements. He believed it all throughout the trial. He believes it today. It’s never going to stop. That’s chilling.”

“Mr. Giuliani does have a history of not completing his financial obligations,” Howell said.

Legal analyst P. Andrew Torrez, who hosts "Law and Chaos," characterized it as Howell "reading him for filth for an hour," before requiring the change.

"Literally any other non-Trump human who displayed this level of open contempt for a court with no signs of remorse would be given a night in lockup to cool their heels with an instruction to come back on your knees with a fulsome apology if you want to be let out," Torrez lamented.
