Rudy Giuliani trial postponed over status of his Florida home and World Series rings
SUMMARY
Rudy Giuliani’s trial over whether he must surrender assets to satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment has been postponed. The trial, originally scheduled for Thursday, was delayed until Tuesday after Giuliani, 80, did not appear in court to testify. The case centers on whether Giuliani must forfeit a Florida condominium and three World Series rings to two Georgia election workers who won the defamation suit after Giuliani's remarks made against them relating to 2020 election fraud. Giuliani had been found in contempt by a judge last week for failing to provide asset information. The election workers' lawyers argue that Giuliani’s Florida home, worth over $3 million, is not his primary residence and that the rings, valued at $27,000, were improperly claimed as gifts to his son. Giuliani, who claims financial hardship, has already surrendered several assets, including a luxury car and watches.
