Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Rudy Giuliani has been found in contempt of court for refusing to comply with orders to provide information and turn over assets to Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who won a $146 million defamation judgment against him. Judge Lewis Liman noted Giuliani's willful noncompliance and indicated harsher sanctions may follow. The ruling complicates Giuliani's ongoing trial to retain his Florida condo, as he continues to face scrutiny for his handling of court-ordered asset disclosures and his claims of disorganization regarding other valuables.
