纽约一名联邦法官周四提出，如果鲁迪·朱利安尼不能在下周前将财产移交给两名佐治亚投票站工作人员，他可能会被判藐视法庭他诽谤2020年大选后。
前选举工作人员鲁比·弗里曼和叶莎·莫斯的律师指责朱利安尼“玩游戏”，朱利安尼的律师指责这两个女人“报复”，此后，90分钟的听证会变成了法官所说的“抱怨”
去年联邦陪审团朱利安尼命令道向弗里曼和莫斯支付近1.5亿美元，指控他们在2020年选举日当天在佐治亚州富尔顿县计算选票时，这对母亲和女儿进行了选举欺诈。
本周早些时候，弗里曼和莫斯的律师声称朱利安尼已经“隐藏起来“他的财产在被接管后由两名选举工作人员控制，他去了朱利安尼的公寓，却发现里面几乎空无一人。
这位前纽约市长被要求在11月14日之前交出他在上东区合作公寓的股份、珍贵的体育纪念品、一辆梅赛德斯-奔驰敞篷车和豪华手表，其中包括一块属于朱利安尼祖父的手表。
当辩护律师肯·卡鲁索抱怨说强迫朱利安尼放弃他祖父的手表是“报复性的”时，一位恼怒的法官路易斯·李曼说，“哦，得了吧!”
“法律就是法律，我不会对你的委托人区别对待，”李曼说。“别来找我说什么有报复心的话。”
法官同样对辩方的论点无动于衷，即朱利安尼的车，一辆曾为女演员劳伦·白考尔所有的蓝色奔驰敞篷车，被免除判决，因为它的价值不到4000美元。
“周一，所有权和钥匙以及汽车的物理位置将被交付，”法官李曼说。
朱利安尼还不愿放弃他为唐纳德·特朗普做法律工作所欠的大约200万美元。
“他们想用这笔钱来发表政治声明，”卡鲁索说。
李曼没有让步，并提醒朱利安尼后果。
“他接到了一个无条件的命令，要把所有的破产财产交给接管人，”李曼说。“如果他不服从，那么我肯定会申请藐视法庭。如果他没有交付，而他有办法交付，他将受到藐视法庭的制裁。”
在法庭外，朱利安尼指责弗里曼和莫斯带来了“由拜登夫妇资助的”政治仇杀。
当ABC新闻问他是否后悔诽谤弗里曼和莫斯时，朱利安尼回答说“不”，然后他的律师介入说此案正在上诉。
Judge threatens Giuliani with contempt if he doesn't turn over property to poll workers he defamed
A federal judge in New York on Thursday raised the possibility of holding Rudy Giuliani in contempt if he fails to turn over property by next week to the two Georgia poll workershe defamedafter the 2020 election.
A 90-minute hearing devolved into what the judge called "griping" after a lawyer for former election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss accused Giuliani of "game playing" and an attorney for Giuliani accused the two women of being "vindictive."
A federal jury last yearordered Giulianito pay Freeman and Moss nearly $150 million for defaming them with false accusations that the mother and daughter committed election fraud while the two were counting ballots in Georgia's Fulton County on Election Day in 2020.
Earlier this week, Freeman and Moss' attorney claimed that Giuliani had "secreted away" his property after the receivership controlled by the two election workers accessed Giuliani's apartment, only to find it virtually empty.
The former New York City mayor was given a Nov. 14 deadline to turn over the shares in his Upper East Side co-op apartment, valuable sports memorabilia, a Mercedes-Benz convertible, and luxury watches -- including one that belonged to Giuliani's grandfather.
When defense lawyer Ken Caruso complained that forcing Giuliani to relinquish his grandfather's watch was "vindictive," an exasperated Judge Lewis Liman said, "Oh come on!"
"The law is the law and I don't apply it differently to your client," Liman said. "Don't come to me and say something is vindictive."
The judge was equally unmoved by the defense argument that Giuliani's car, a blue Mercedes-Benz convertible once owned by the actress Lauren Bacall, was exempt from the judgment because it's worth less than $4,000.
"Monday the title and keys will be delivered as well as the physical location of the car," Judge Liman said.
Giuliani also balked at relinquishing about $2 million dollars he is owed for legal worked performed for Donald Trump.
"They wanted that money to make a political statement," Caruso said.
Liman did not budge and reminded Giuliani of the consequences.
"He is under an unqualified order to deliver all the receivership property to the receiver," Liman said. "If he doesn't comply then I'm sure I'll get a motion for contempt. If he hasn't delivered, and there is a way in which he could have delivered, he'll be subject to contempt sanctions."
Outside court, Giuliani accused Freeman and Moss of bringing a "political vendetta" that was "financed by the Bidens."
When ABC News asked whether he regretted defaming Freeman and Moss, Giuliani answered "No" before his lawyer stepped in to say the case was on appeal.
