Rudy Giuliani Lashes Out At Judge During A Courtroom Hearing, Saying He Was ‘Against’ Him

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani condemned U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman during a Manhattan courtroom hearing, claiming that he was “against” him.

Giuliani owes $148 million to Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, two former Georgia election workers after he was found guilty of accusing them of 2020 election fraud.

On Oct. 22, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman ruled that Giuliani must hand over property expected to fetch several million dollars for Freeman and Moss.

This included his Manhattan apartment, estimated at more than $5 million, which he needed to give to the election workers within the seven days following the ruling.

The former New York City mayor was ordered to give the former Georgia election workers his 1980 Mercedes-Benz SL 500, formerly owned by Lauren Bacall, a shirt and picture signed, respectively, by Yankees legends Joe DiMaggio and Reggie Jackson, a signed Yankee Stadium picture, a diamond ring, costume jewelry and 26 watches, including a Rolex, five Shinolas, two Bulovas and a Tiffany & Co.

On Nov. 26, Giuliani lashed out in court after Liman asked why he had not yet turned over the title to his 1980 Mercedes convertible to Freeman and Moss.

The former mayor claimed that he lost track of the car’s title. 

“The car and the keys, without the title, is meaningless,” the judge pointed out.

“Every implication that you’ve made is against me,” Giuliani declared to Liman.

Giuliani’s lawyer, Joseph Cammarata, told Liman that his client turned over 90% of the assets.

“Your client is a competent person,” the judge told him. “He was the U.S. Attorney in this district.”

“The notion that he can’t apply for a title certificate -,” he mentioned before Giuliani interrupted him.

“I did apply for it!” he claimed from the defense table. “What am I supposed to do, make it up myself? Your implication that I have not been diligent about it is totally incorrect.”

He also accused the judge of unfairly characterizing his declaration that he has limited access to assets as him crying “poverty” to the court.

“I’m not impoverished … Everything I have is tied up,” he asserted.

Giuliani complained that the election workers crippled his day-to-day life.

“I don’t have a car, I don’t have a credit card, I don’t have cash,” he went on to say. “I can’t pay my bills.”

Giuliani also declared, albeit without evidence, that someone placed what he called a “stop order” on his Social Security account.

Liman warned the former lawyer that he could not speak again in court unless he testifies under oath or his lawyer should do the talking.

“There should be no higher priority for your client right now than complying with the court’s orders,” the judge told Cammarata. “Period.”

“Next time, he’s not going to be permitted to speak, and the court will take action,” he stated.

“Your client can either represent himself by counsel or appear pro se,” the judge continued, alluding to the legal term for self-representation. “He can’t do both.”
