A federal judge has ordered Rudolph W. Giuliani to turn over most possessions and available cash to a receivership controlled by the Georgia election workers he defamed. This includes his New York condominium and his vintage Mercedes-Benz, valued items that reflect both his success and personal history. The judge emphasized the need for accountability, reflecting on the serious repercussions of Mr. Giuliani's actions that impacted the lives of Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss due to the malicious falsehoods he propagated after the 2020 election.
Judge Liman detailed that Giuliani's claim about sentimental value does not hold legal weight, stating, 'the watch may be distinctive to defendant as an item of sentimental value, but it is not distinctive to the law.' This ruling underscores the legal system's demand for accountability regardless of personal attachments. The defamation inflicted severe reputational damage upon Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss, marking this as a significant moment in redressing the harm caused by Giuliani's reckless statements.
