Remarks by Rudy Giuliani about the women on his podcast prompted the call for the contempt hearing just a day ago.

Giuliani “brazenly” violated an injunction placed on him in December 2023 after a federal court found him liable for defaming Moss and Freeman during the 2020 election, according to the motion for civil contempt filed by their attorneys. He was ordered to pay the women $148 million and agreed not to make any further false statements about them.

Former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani can’t stop defaming two Georgia election workers he already owes a whopping $148 million, their legal team claims in a letter to a federal judge. Attorneys for the election workers who sued Giuliani are now asking that the embattled former mayor of New York City be held in contempt of court — which could lead to even more fines and even jail time.
