Former New York mayor voices frustration in hearing over order to pay $150m to Georgia election workers he defamed

Summary

Rudy Giuliani, facing a $150M defamation judgment for false claims against Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, erupted in court, declaring he’s unable to pay his bills due to frozen assets.

Giuliani, 80, has turned over some assets, including a car and access to his Manhattan apartment, but disputes over ownership documents persist.

A federal judge denied Giuliani’s request for extended deadlines and refused to delay a January trial that may decide if more assets, including his Florida home, will be surrendered.

Giuliani continues to deny wrongdoing.

    Giuliani said he did not regret defaming Freeman and Moss.“I regret the persecution I have been put through,” he said.

    Some people just don’t learn.
