Rudy Giuliani must immediately pay the $148 million he owes two Georgia women he falsely accused of helping steal the 2020 election, a federal judge ruled Wednesday in a scathing order accusing the former Trump attorney of ongoing dishonesty.
Judge Beryl A. Howell wrote that there is a strong danger Giuliani is likely to hide his assets from plaintiffs Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss and is unlikely to succeed in having last week’s the jury verdict overturned or cut down on appeal.
Attorneys for the two women still have to enforce the judgment against Giuliani, which may involve further court proceedings. But they do not have to wait the standard 30 days to begin trying to seize his assets.
I wish I could ignore court orders with impunity. I don’t need to, because I’m not a corrupt douchnozzle, but still.
I’m in no way trying to normalize whatever the fuck Rudy Giuliani is, but it’s honestly pretty common in civil cases for the party found to owe money to not pay, and the legal mechanisms to force payment are limited
That said, I hope these women’s attorneys rake him over the fucking coals and he ends up homeless and destitute
