Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Thursday scoffed at suggestions that he was blocking an order to turn over assets to two Georgia election workers he slandered.
“They just lied,” Giuliani said as he headed for a hearing on the dispute in Manhattan federal court. An attorney for the women claims he discovered property subject to a forfeiture order in the defamation case in his Manhattan apartment during a recent inspection.
“My apartment was filled with stuff,” the former New York mayor said, according to NBC News. “All the right stuff was there. And the apartment was packed with stuff.”
“So they’re totally lying,” she said as she drove a Mercedes-Benz to a polling place in Florida on Tuesday to vote for a woman, Ruby Freeman, and her daughter, Wandria Moe. Sri Lanka.
Giuliani was outraged by a judge’s order requiring him to appear in person on Thursday, calling it “like a witch hunt.”
Giuliani was found guilty in federal court in Washington, D.C., of defamation charges accusing the two women of committing vote fraud at vote-counting sites during the 2020 presidential election, when Giuliani represented President-elect Donald Trump. He was ordered to pay them $146 million in the case.
Asked Thursday if Trump had called him since winning the most recent presidential election, Giuliani said: “Yes.”
When asked what Trump said, Giuliani responded: “I’m not going to tell you.”
