Rudy Giuliani Ordered to Surrender NYC Apartment and 26 Watches to Georgia Election Workers
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to turn over his Manhattan apartment and 26 luxury watches as part of a legal settlement with two Georgia election workers. This court ruling follows a defamation lawsuit filed against Giuliani, in which the workers claimed that his false accusations of election fraud damaged their reputations and led to threats and harassment.
Giuliani, a key figure in promoting baseless claims of widespread voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election, has faced mounting legal challenges in recent months. The Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss, were thrust into the national spotlight when Giuliani falsely accused them of tampering with ballots, an allegation that was proven untrue.
As part of the court-ordered compensation, Giuliani must hand over his Upper East Side apartment and a collection of valuable watches to help satisfy the financial judgment against him. This marks a significant consequence for the former mayor, whose legal and financial troubles have continued to escalate since the 2020 election.
The lawsuit is one of several defamation cases Giuliani faces related to his involvement in spreading false claims about the election, and this latest ruling underscores the legal accountability for those who engaged in promoting misinformation.
